A Place To Go

Sometimes I just need a listening ear. Someone who doesn't try to solve the issues, or change the way things are. They just listen, so I can vent.

This blog is what I hope will be that listening ear. And if I can help just one person in this world to know that they are not alone in what you go through as the Mom of an autistic child, then I will feel I have done good.

That is not to say, I do not like advice. I have read most of what the library in our town, and the surrounding towns have to offer on the subject of Autism. I have read stories of Mom's like me, stories of children like mine (and some NOT like mine!), and reports from the so-called professionals. I have tried the gluten-free, casein-free diet. I have had ABA therapy in our home. We are seeing a new psychiatrist this afternoon because we are willing to try medicine.

I have embraced this Autism that crept into our home shortly after our son turned two years old. I love his smile, his twinkling blue eyes, and his love of all things simple. He has changed our lives in ways I cannot explain. We are blessed.
