    • About Me

      Happily married (20 years) and mom of 3 boys 17, 14 and 11. The youngest with Aspergers. He was diagnosed in 2003 but not before lots of other diagnosis were suggested, but nothing ever fit until AS. We first started taking him in for evaluations when he was 3. They said he may be gifted and talented. By 6, the school was telling me he was borderline mentally disabled. I knew that wasn't right. He is incredibly smart once you get past all the social stuff. I am still holding out for Gifted and Talented. I think he has a lot to offer the world. Philosophy: Live and let live.

      I love the LDS faith and I love Christ. I love reading, writing, camping, rafting, boating, and walking in the sunshine, especially on the west coast beaches. I also love the scouting program.

      Thank you so much. Jacob starts with his behavior therapist today and i am so hopeful that there will be some relief for him and the rest of us in the family. His outbursts and behaviors have been very hard for all of us. I welcome any advice I can get at this point, this is all so new to us and we are just starting to get help.
