My regular readers may have noticed that I haven’t been blogging much lately. Although I have enjoyed the last two-plus years of blogging and all that it entails more than I can say, I am in a place right now where I must focus on some other areas of my life that are sorely in need of attention.
It really comes down to this issue I have been dealing with of recognizing your limitations and accepting them. That is especially hard for me when blogging is something I love, but I have come to accept that for right now I just cannot continue to make it a priority.
I am going to leave this blog up for the time being and may return to it in the future. If nothing else, I hope that it will serve as a resource for other moms and dads who are looking for information on autism — if you are just stumbling upon my blog now, you can use the nested menu at the top of the page or the category list and search features in the right sidebar to see if I have posted about the topic you are looking for. The Archives menu in particular includes a link to a list of my Autism Resource posts and a list of the posts I did for 5 Minutes for Special Needs.
For anyone who wishes to keep in touch, feel free to connect with me on Facebook or email me at trish1225[at]gmail[dot]com. The comments on this post will be open for a few days and then closed.
And, by the way, just because I’m not blogging doesn’t mean I’m not still decluttering, so if you committed to the challenge, you’re not off the hook! Check out Suzanne’s 365 Days of Decluttering blog if you need some additional inspiration to keep going. 
I'm a mom with Asperger's raising an amazing son with autism, which means I'm basically the case manager/advocate/cheerleader/chauffeur. The rest of the time, you can usually find me with my nose in a book!

Trish,
I totally understand where you are coming from. I wish you the best and thank you for taking the time to respond to my comments. You have always shown support that I have counted on. I will keep you in my thoughts.
will miss you
but totally understand
Will hold onto you on my dashboard, then if you feel like posting I will be able to catch up with you. I hope your break goes well, the decluttering goes smoothly and your limitations behave the way you want them to:) Take care. Jen.

Sad for me, but happy for you. In a way you are 'decluttering' time. Wondering if you will read if not post….? Wishing you all the best.
Having decreased my own blogging, I understand, but will miss the blog. Yes, realizing our limitations, and acting on priorities is difficult, but often neeeded.
oh trish, i'm so bummed that you are hanging up the blogging for now. yet, i totally understand that when you need to put other priorities first, then you gotta do that. i definitely want to keep in touch! and good for you on keeping going with the decluttering challenge.
Kudos to you! Letting go of something is very difficult. However, you've recognized your limitations and are channeling your efforts into your priorities. Hopefully life will adjust itself and you can return to blogging, if that's what you want at that time.
Good luck on everything you are focusing on right now. And happy decluttering!
