I am a single mom raising a son with autism. 21 years ago, I read "Autism: a permanent developmental disability requiring lifelong care for which there is no known cause or cure". In that moment my world shifted. Today more than 3.5 million readers have shared in our journey through this blog as I have detailed our 21-year journey of grief, joy, disappointments, successes, lessons, strategies, personal challenges, frustrations, fears all as they unfolded- day by day.

ASD and Household Appliances
I just took Nicky out of the cloths dryer! He's okay, but it wasn't easy getting him out. He was mixed in with a full load.
I love reading your blog when I have time (I have a 6 yr old twin son that also has autism). Keep up the awesome work. Nicky is very lucky to have you as his mom.
BTW, I wanted to share something you may have already read or heard about, but since you are in the USA, most likely not. I posted about this special song with lyrics -after you hear & read the lyrics, you'll understand why I love this song from out of Australia:
Hopefully the song will be released in the USA (I could not buy it via iTunes because I am in the USA). The writer of the song is a mother of a 6 yr old son that has Autism. She is currently working on getting it available in the UK and hopefully in the US. She has a blogger on here as well and is another great mom out there, like you.
WOW! How did he do that! LOL
