Autism - Day by Day

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.

Autism Day By Day Included in NIH U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) Online Archive For NIH Researchers

Keep posting your comments, The National Institute of Health is listening.

The U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) is building an online archive of Web content as part of its mission to collect, preserve, and make available to the public materials that provide information in medicine and public health, and document their histories.

Thanks to the best readers ever, we've officially become part of the solution. NLM has requested to include Autism Day by Day in this collection, and I've agreed!

NLM is essentially a snapshot — that will watch how Autism Day by Day appears over time, and make the content available to researchers through NLM to greatly enhance the value of the Library’s collection.

The National Library of Medicine is part of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
