Good Deeds for Moms with Disabled Children

I find this article interesting not only because I have an autistic child but because of how many families seem to be affected today by some sort of special need or disability, not just autism. 

It is said that one out of every 95 children has an autism spectrum disorder.  Every 20 minutes, another family receives the devastating news that their child is autistic.

It is likely you know someone raising a child with some disability.  We all know raising kids can be difficult and trying at times, but the efforts required to raise a disabled child, whether physically or mentally, are immensely demanding.  And an unfortunate reality of it is that many moms are doing it alone either due to divorce or a spouse's work schedule.   

While we are all busy moms and usually can’t find enough time in our days to do our own things, make it a point sometime soon to reach out to that mom you know who is raising a child with a disability. Consider it your weekly or monthly “good deed” and offer to help out in any way you can.  Personally, I know it helps tremendously when others do it for me.
