It's been three months since my last post... once school started again, reality began to set in as I watched my youngest son struggle with behaviors at home and in the classroom. While I was in denial before and attributed what was going on to a hundred different things, I slowly began to recognize the familiar characteristics of autism. Raising two boys on the spectrum is challenging, to say the least, but I am confident that there is a reason for it all. I want to become an advocate for other families with children on the spectrum and provide support as they navigate through this journey. As a friend reminded me: it takes a village...and it truly does, especially for children with disabilities and their families. I am incredibly thankful this holiday season for all the love and support I've received. I can only hope to encourage and inspire others by sharing my story...
