The TV was on in the background. I wasn't really paying attention. One of those Lawyer commercials came on. You know the kind. "Call us if you've been injured or are paid money in annuities and want one lump sum" blah, blah, blah. Then I heard the word "Autism" and "Zoloft" and that caught my attention pretty damn quick.
I was prescribed Zoloft while I was pregnant, and was told at the time it was considered a "Class Schedule D" drug. Meaning they didn't know what the effects on the baby would be.
I can't get this thought out of my head. I know it's not really my fault, am I responsible for Ethan not being able to realise his full potential? Did I contribute to his autism?
I am a bipolar Mum to an Autistic 7 year old who is the most amazing person I know. We enjoy watching Doctor Who, Chuck and Top Gear together. I am currently navigating through the murky waters of separation and divorce. He cheated. He's an ass. A good Dad, but an ass. I am the Master of Inappropriate Humour, witty sarcasm and am an Excel Guru. (How random is that?). I'm often seen wearing fingerless gloves, super-hero T-Shirts, cargo pants and Chucks.

The Boys Are Away...
...so instead of spending time stomping Orcs in Azeroth, I'm designing a blog. It occurred to me that I would do myself a great service by cataloguing my journey from Hellness to Wellness.
