Welcome back Steph, you sound like a bit of a breath of fresh air. You seem to have lots of challenges happening in your life ... but, in saying that you sound happy and extremely grateful for your beautiful, loving little family surrounding you. I have always wondered what it would be like to be surrounded by all boys? I have two girls, so its just my poor husband Bruno and the dog the fly the male flag in my family. Maybe if and when no 3 comes along, you never know, we could get a boy ... but will be just as happy with another girl.

So, can I ask ... is the autism something genetic?

Look forward to hearing more from you and Kas and Jen if they are around!?
