About Me

I am the single mom of a really extraordinary kid. My son, Ryan has Asperger's Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism. I am trying to learn as much as I can about the disorder and pass along the information. It is my sincerest hope that the world will come to learn from people with Asperger's Syndrome and other Autism spectrum disorders. I want to see the world through his eyes and live my life with as much enthusiasm and joy that he does.
