  My mission has always been to show other with autism to  build a safe community for families to share the unique challenges of parenting a special needs child as well as celebrate the unique. I started a blog before but this one is very special my son who  diagnosed with autism. Now am ready to take the time to share, I just needed to write. I needed to get the words and feelings out. this website evolved into an amazing community of parents, teachers, therapists, grandparents, brothers, sisters and caregivers that are looking to find support, encouragement, a safe space to vent and above all…hope. If you choose to follow us, you will find pieces of the beautiful parts of our world – My absolutely beautiful children, all two of them my family, our journey with verbal, severe autism, raising my son, marriage, love and life.

  To all the  wives, the girlfriends, Dad, and the mothers: We haven’t said these three simple words often enough… From the moment one, mother’s of our children, we watch as you push grief to the side and take the lead at the moment of diagnosis. Home Not you, though. You’ll never give up. we carried this baby in your belly, so when the only way is through, we’ve already seen how you persevere. When the stress is overwhelming, the challenges are all consuming, and there’s no easier answers. In those awful moments, our hearts ache . Tears are agonizing for us. Your grief stays in our thoughts, even when we leave for the office or the driving to work. We see you frustrated. Having a child of special needs. Having to take on roles unfamiliar and unexpected. Being the first to sacrifice. We see you crying, screaming, fighting. Standing across from us, in the real life moments that no one else can understand. The meltdowns. The fights. The disagreements. click on link for more https://linkt

"Receiving my son's autism diagnosis was a pivotal moment in our lives, marking the beginning of a journey that has been both challenging and profoundly rewarding. As I navigated the unknown, I learned to embrace the beauty of neurodiversity and celebrate the unique perspective my child brings to the world. With every step, I've come to understand that autism is not something to be 'cured' or changed, but rather a fundamental aspect of my son's identity. Through his eyes, I've discovered a world of wonder, creativity, and resilience. Our journey has taught me to cherish the little victories, to advocate fiercely, and to love unconditionally. As we continue to grow and learn together, I'm grateful for the gift of autism, which has enriched our lives in ways I never thought possible."
