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.

Legendary Wayne Henderson My Friend and a Friend to our Kids Died this Weekend
This weekend I lost a dear friend Mr. Wayne Henderson. He was not only my friend but a man who cared deeply about family and children. He was excited when my daughter was learning how to play Bass Clarinet, and he encouraged her. When my non-profit Special Needs Network threw it's first big fundraiser he was one of my friends I called on make the entertainment special, he didn't hesitate to say yes and he showed up and gave everyone an amazing show. Every time we spoke he would say "How are the babies? How's Mom?". I can't believe I won't hear him ask me that again.
