    • About Me

      I have 3 beautiful children who are 20(Elizabeth), 18(Jessica) and 18(Paul). I have been dealing with all of the battles of Autism since Sept. 1992. Back then not very many people had even heard of Autism and the "experts" insisted that there was little if any hope for my son. Common sense told me that "something" caused my son to slip away and there had to be a way to bring him back.

      From wencasedill3 July 29

      I read your last blog and can sympathise with you. I am a single mom with 2 children. My daughter is 8 with autism and my son is 3. My daughter requires round the clock supervision and I work when she is in school and / or when my son can be watched by his nan. Its really hard. Hope we can chat sometime. :)
