From time to time, I check out the google search terms and phrases that lead people to my blog. It's a glimpse into the soul. What questions do people plug into the modern oracle of Dephi? Some of their questions are repulsive. Others are painful.
I feel most for those who plug in questions about autism. "Why Won't My Kid Talk" "What Should I Do When My Kid Screams?" Seven years ago, I was one of those people. I didn't know what was going on with Ian and neither did the doctors or his teachers. So, I turned to the Internet for help. But even the Internet wasn't that helpful. The current medicial defintions of autism were useless. The chatrooms were full of hysteria and misinformation.
My next post is going to be for the random google searchers. I usually ignore them. I don't SEO my webpages. I would rather have a small community of regular, informed readers, than a larger audience of One Time Charlies. But I have a soft spot for confused parents. I'll SEO the crap out of the page and hopefully, it will help someone.

I was just having a look at my blog’s modest page views and noting what subject matter gets most attention. “Breastfeeding” and “Dave Ramsey” seems to be popular.

A friend has a post about chronic non-specific toddler diarrhea for similar reasons, although the child in question is now well out of toddlerdom.

Toddlers aren’t very specific about any type of elimination.
