I'm going to be dead serious and suggest that you do make these posts into a book.
While each and every child is different, knowing that other parents have faced the same challenges--that you aren't alone, that the way your child acts isn't because you're a terrible parent/person, that there are ways to cope and all of you come out whole--would be extremely valuable.
Parenting is hard enough. Parenting a child who doesn't fit the center of the bell curve of "normality" is a million times harder.
