The New "Normal": Living with Autism: Depression, Anxiety, and the Autism Parent

The New "Normal": Living with Autism: Depression, Anxiety, and the Autism Parent

I
read many autism blogs at this point- the autism "blogosphere" is very
much so a community and I like to keep up with certain families.  I read
blogs by both moms and dads and something struck me the other day.  In
both of the autism dad blogs that I read, the dads are very up front
about the fact that they suffer from depression.  They are both on
antidepressants and don't hesitate to talk about it.  I have not seen
many autism moms discuss this, which doesn't mean that it hasn't
happened, I just haven't seen it. - See more at:
