I am a stay at home Army Wife with a 7 year old boy. My Son (who I call Cutie online to protect his privacy) has Autism. Because of frequent moves and other interruptions in his services, I have provided the majority of his therapies under the guidance and supervision of and OT and an ST, as well as a psychologist and his medical and educational teams.
I have been volunteering as an Advocate for kids with autism for a few years and am now branching out online so that I can help more families deal with the daily stressors such as navigating the system, understanding sensory issues, finding free resources, getting couples time and venting! Every child with autism deserves a chance to succeed and all of the obstacles can make a parent feel hopeless- there are ways to give your child what they need- you just need to know where to look.
