A Trip to Chicago -- Autism Style

Laura Shumaker's blog from SFGate.com. This is part 1.

It was a month before our trip to Chicago, and Matthew sat in front of the family computer Googling "karaoke in Chicago", surrounded by maps of the Great Lakes region.
"I'm thinking that when we land in Illinois, we can drive to Indiana and Michigan. We can get back to Illinois in time for karaoke at Trader Tod's. We'll drive to Wisconsin the next day."
Matthew and I had been discussing this itinerary daily since I booked our trip 3 months earlier, sometimes twice daily. He'd been studying the map and was giddy at the thought of hitting four states that he hadn't been to.
