I've never had the pleasure writing a blog before, but thought I'd pick a topic that is a part of my daily life and see how it goes. I have a 9 year old daughter who is diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and High-Functioning Autism.  She currently attends a school for children with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome and is doing pretty well lately.  It wasn't always easy.  I've been selling real estate since 1993 and have built a great business based on striving for repeat business and referral business from satisfied past clients.  When Lydia was born in 1999, I knew that there would be some sacrifice of my time for being a dad and helping out at home.  This was just fine and it was working out just great until we started Lydia in daycare at about 16 months months old.  ... 08/09/2008
