About Me

I am the loving mom to two beautiful boys on the autism spectrum. My oldest son who is 4.5 was diagnosed with Aspergers in 2/2007, my 18 month old recently failed his Autism screening at his 18 month well check appointment. I left my career in corporate america to stay at home and take care of my special needs children. In my free time I enjoy advocating and spreading autism awareness... I may be just one person, but I want to make a difference down the road.
