| Introduction | I’m an Aussie mum of two beautiful boys. In 2008 our first son entered the world, and in 2011 a developmental paediatrician confirmed our suspicions that our non-verbal, toe walking, sensory seeking, happy-in-his-own-world three year old had autism. I share often about my son and our family on my personal Facebook page, and I try to keep things fairly positive. I cope as well as most parents of kids on the spectrum do, meaning that when things are well with my boy, things are well with me. I delight in his joyful spirit, I celebrate the smallest milestone and I dare to hope for more than his current diagnosis would indicate. On other days I am frustrated, jealous, fearful and tired to the point of despair. While I have an amazing family and friends who would “be there” in a heartbeat, most of the time I don’t want to talk about it, I just want to let out what’s in my head and move on. That’s where this blog will come in. Also, I am choosing to stay anonymous for my family’s privacy, so if you do stumble across this blog and the family seems awfully familiar please don’t blow my cover! ;-) |
