Whew, this one was hard. I promised myself when I started this platform that I would be real. I don't write this for pity. I write it so that others may understand what it feels like to have a child with Autism. I write it so that the world can become a more understanding and accepting place for my son. It's all for him

It can be so easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day challenges of raising children, especially when they have special needs, so I’d like to shine a light on the brighter side of the journey by sharing my favorite thing about Autism. Yes, you read that right. There are so many positives that can come from an Autism diagnosis despite all the trials.

You may have read that title and thought of a different word than I intended so I’ll go ahead and spill the beans – A is for Autism.
