		<description><![CDATA[It was a nightmare taking Connor anywhere.  When he was an infant, we&#8217;d cover his pumpkin seat with a light blanket, much like a canary in a cage, as a barrier to sensory overload whenever we visited Wal-Mart or the grocery store. As a toddler and through pre-school, Connor would often refuse to get out of the car when [...]]]></description>
