I do think some of what I do here is not so much about finding the right thing for DS. Much of it, actually, is about communing with people who understand the experience of raising a kid like mine. Community. I also find that reading people's stories and ideas helps me understand myself better. So maybe it was DS's needs that got me here, I don't think that the is the main reason I stay. But I may use him as an excuse.
Interestingly, DS has taken to reading these posts over my shoulder. He's gotten interested in everyone's kids and it's been an icebreaker for him. He tells me a lot more about his own experiences once he's read about others. Interesting.
