I created this blog in hope to unite families with special needs children and special needs parents to share their lives in support and understanding of one another's unique circumstances. I want to provide good informative content here as well as life experiences. To me, nothing speaks louder than personal life experience. Educating the public is key to diminishing stigma's that people with disablities don't matter. Nothing angers me more than someone to make a negative comment about an individual with challenges. Everyone matters!!!
I believe as special and unique as our children are we as parents are also special and unique too. Your voice matters when posting on this blog. Your opinions matter as well as advice, help and support. This is your blog! Please feel free to express your hopes, dreams, disappointments, opinions, celebrations and anything in-between.
I feel with dedication, a lot of work, and good honest collaborative efforts we all can help continue to educate the public through informative articles, hard core experience and as an added bonus give vital support to each other along the way! :)
About My Son
Let me have the honor of introducing to you a handsome, awesome young man, my son! Jacob is 21 years old and has severe Autism. Jacob was diagnosed with severe to profound Autism at age 5 1/2. He displayed all the classic signs of Autism after turning 18 months old.
Autism has been an interesting, sometimes difficult journey. Helping Jacob and advocating for Jacob has been challenging. Loving our son through it all has been the easy part and the most rewarding. His journey,our life, has been enriched by his untimely strength. He is a resilient young man full of surprises and wonderment. "I love you too, Mommy." is the most beautiful expression in the world! I can't wait to share more of his life with you!
