I consider myself in the middle when it comes to keeping up with technology. I felt a little left behind when it came to this blogging sensation, however, and am a little embarrassed to just now be finding my voice in this arena.
Having a beautiful little boy with autism, and two darling neuro-typical daughters, life is full of surprises. So many times I have wanted to have somewhere to record these happenings and what I have learned from them. Thirty years ago...heck, ten years ago, I would have bought a pretty little journal and recorded them there. Now I shall try doing so here.
There are so many of us parents and caregivers stumbling through an "on the job" education of how to raise a child with autism. I believe we need to be there for each other - to share what works, what didn't work for us, to lean on each other. So, here's hoping that some of what I put down here will someday be of help to a frantic mom looking for answers, or understanding.
For me, it will be a place to record what it's like - really like - to live with autism. For cathersis and for posterity. For now, I will bask in the glory of creating my spot. I'll start using it tomorrow. Good night.
