About Me

I reside in pennsylvania along with my husband of 9 years and two daughters & a son (6, 4, & 17 months). Although I have a 4 year degree, and we desperately need money, I stay at home with my children. My oldest daughter was diagnosed with Autism 3/10/2006, and is severely affected. She has no verbal communication skills, does not feed herself, dress herself, completely incontinent, displays self induced vomiting, pica, and several risk taking behaviors. My 4 year old daughter is normal functioning, she's actually very advanced. I am starting to become very concerned with my son. He is now 17 months old and still does not say a single word. The gift I pray for every day is to be content with my life. I want the ability to accept my daughter, and quite possibly my son, for who they are. I want to be proud of them & their achievements. It's sad to say, but at this point in my life, I'm neither content or proud.
