16. That is the one and only thing I'm looking forward to

It's so nice to go to gatherings of other families with autistic children - they are relaxed and they get it. I'm guessing we are going to find the same thing in this situation. Though, I wonder, do people group up according to their diagnoses?

I'm guessing I'm about to find out. That's another thing I wonder. Will I be able to be with him while he gets chemo?
