This is an extract from another blog ....... It was about parenting in general but it's especially relevant for parents of an auty one. That blog spoke of a marriage breakdown rate of 33% ...... but for us in the auty world, it's a rate of 85%!!

---------------------------------------------------
Here are some tips you can implement every day:
Schedule in 10 minutes every night as an appointment in your phone to talk and reconnect
Make some form of intimate contact every day, whether it's hugging, holding hands or caressing
Save up for a date night once a month
Write each other small notes of gratitude daily thanking each other for their hard work.
Listen to one another and speak using positive language, without casting blame.
Engage in activities you used to enjoy before children. This might be cooking together or watching your favourite movies once the kids are in bed.
It's never too late to start making small investments in your relationship that will reap large rewards for you as a couple and your family as a whole.

See what I mean? This person says "You should put your partner before your children.". This concept is so hard ..... but so right.
For us, one of the most important things we can do for Kaylia is to successfully survive the autism experience.
