Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.
My battle with addiction has had a huge impact on my life,both negative and positive.I will nevr forget where I came from and how far I have journeyed.I learned to never judge and that you cant get back lost time,so make the best of each day..
Greatest is raising a special needs child alone.
I'm also proud of getting my license, going to college and quitting smoking and hopefully now, weight loss and finding myself and peace with autism and my life and self.
What impact has this had on my life? Well let's say that I have been spared the 3 hour drive to state school to see my son being cared by others, tucked in at night by someone other than myself. My son is able to live at home, although it can be a daily challenge! he is home and that is a blessing! I have peace of mind and have actually gotten to be his mommy! GOD chose me! A challenge only few will come to know in their lifetime! want to talk about survival of the fitest!!!!!
