What are your autism-related resolutions for the year 2011?

from Kathryn Schulz of The Guardian

"Even absurd new year's resolutions do you good. They may be absurdly optimistic, but new year's resolutions are vital in keeping hope alive..." "...our resolutions are not failed acts of the will, but successful acts of the imagination." http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/dec/31/new-year-resolutions

Setting priorities, doing what is doable

I posted a facetious resolution -- now I'll post a real one. My resolution is that, when faced with an impossible array of demands and expectations I will set priorities and do what is most important.

Pleasing everyone!

My new year's resolution is to do everything that anyone wants me to do, and to live up to the expectations of absolutely everyone I know. Then again, maybe not. ;-)

Taking More Help

My resolution for this year is to take more help that has been offered me. Not in my daughters care but in other aspects like carpooling and offers for babysitters and such. I am there for every little thing for my daughter but sometimes I feel my other children feel left out or that I'm not there enough. It will be difficult to be less in control but my other kids will benefit from me being home or at their school once a week.
