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.

Nicky Walked into a Tree?
It's one of those days. Nicky was so in his head - no doubt consumed with images of his favorite videos - that he walked into a tree at school today. Poor baby. He's okay, and thanks to his ASD he's not embarrassed. LOL
I loved this. Short, sweet and to the point. My son does this all the time. I kid you not. Then again my son was born clumsy and the floor always seems to jump up at him. LOL
Oh, I can appreciate this! 'Brevity is the soul of wit.' I just posted a story about my brother, Willie, and how he named each of our family members after characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. I kid you not. Check it out over at: www.awishcomeclear.com, where I regularly find reasons to smile (and cry, and laugh) in the world of intellectual and developmental disability. Thanks for sharing!
