Unlike other mothers that have started a blog when their autistic child was 2 or 3,  I am starting mine when my autistic child is 11 years old.  I have always wanted to share my experiences with others, but I was always hesitant because I thought my experiences would not be of any interest to anyone.  Over the years, I realize that my story is unique just like other families with autistic children and it is imperative that we do SHARE with one another.  It can be a really lonely world sometimes and we NEED someone who can relate to our experiences.  So now, I will share my family’s story with autism with hopes that you will share your stories with me one day.
