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.

I Knew this Day was Coming!
I don't know which is hardest to believe: that he's off to high school in the fall or that he's as tall as I am!
Hi. I just happened to run across your website - a friend had a post linked on her Facebook to one of your blogs - and I started reading some of the others. I am a high school special educator and work with students with moderate and severe disabilities (ASD, ID, etc), so the information and stories you share are very interesting. I actually just tried to convince a friend and co-worker to create a blog as well. She has a grown son with ASD (he is 21 and exits our school system at the end of this month) and I think that there are so many people who can benefit from websites like this. Keep up the good work! And good luck to your son in high school next year :-)
what a beautiful picture...bravo Nicky!
ReplyDeleteLove it and he's not through growing!
