Up All Night

Again. My younger, autistic son has issues. He's been keeping us up at night all week with violent tantrums, so Saturday I'm going to see if I can take him to a doctor for some sedatives. He's never been on meds before. I think he's always needed them, but I haven't gotten them. I'm glad that I've endured and waited. But now that he's getting in to adolesence and more powerful, it's got to happen. I have too many bruises and the quality of his older brother's life is important as well.
