Traveling

As I write this I am dreading travelling with my son. I love him and I want to take trips with him but it seems like it turns into a big production. This is a post I have been wanting to put up for a long time but I have not had much of a chance to.
I made a trip to see some family about 3 or 4 weeks ago and was not really worried. I learned that I should have been. We got to the house with no problem but that was the last of it. Mini-man had trouble sleeping, staying calm, and was generally upset because his routine was not right.
This was a learning experience. I now know that I can not travel to a place that will upset the routine. I first experienced this over the summer when camping. He was upset and lost some of his ability to deal with daily life. I really have no clue how to describe what happens when we travel. It just seems to be a big battle.
I am going to my parents this weekend an I will have to keep a log of what it is like to add to this post. This is all I have for my traveling post at this point in time but I have other post to put up.

ASD

I thought I was prepared to hear the diagnosis
I was not
I thought I would find a miracle cure
I have not
I looked for a cause
I found none
I have looked for some one to blame
I found no one

So now I have started on this journey with you

I use to watch you struggle
Now I struggle with you
I use to let you shut me out
Now I barge in
I use to just let you be
Now I make you join us

I thought you would never be like other
This thought saddened me
Now I see how special you are

It may be years before you call me mommy
I don't care.
I will be daddy as long as you want.

I will be what you need
I will care for you
I will protect you
I will help you because I love you.

All I really want to say is you are my special boy
I love you Mini-Mane
Stay strong and don't let any one tell you are broken
You are not
you are you and you are perfect just the way you are.

This is something I have been working on for my son. I hope some day to share this poor attempt at expressing myself and this blog with him. I want him to know that I love him and want to help I am just lost at what to do.
