~*Families United By Autism*~

About me, hmmm, thats kinda hard since its always about my kids.lol.Well Im A mom of 3 kids. My kids are, Michael who is married and expecting their first child, wow the family tree has begun. He is in the Marines. He is a good kid and will always be my lil boy. We are goin thru somthings due to the choices in life but I have faith and pray we will be ok in the future.My daughter Desirae. She is my strength thru all this drama. She is a sweetie pie... But let me tell ya the teen world is hard..I swear I got more grey then ever..lol.She is my rock. She picks me up when I fall and gives me an unconditonal love that cant be explained. She is a wonderful sister and mom #2 to her lil brother and a great loving sister to her older brother. She is an inspiration. Cuz whatever we are all going thru, she tries to help, never once complaining about what she goes thru. Everyone is too busy with their problems never once looking at hers. She is an angel in disguise. She will touch the world somehow, she will be somebody! I hope I give her what she needs and knows my love for her is beyond love!Then there is my Angel Gabriel Shea.. ( Yes we are huge NY Met fans, My boys are named after the Arch Angels, and Gabriel's middle name is after Shea Stadium.. LOl) Gabriel Shea.He is my little 7 year old pimp daddy. He calls me his hoochie mama, cause I was yellin at Desirae about the hoochie mama look is off limits..And Low and behold I became his hoochie mama..so I asked if he is my pimp daddy hes said , YEP! lol.Mind u this was when he was about 4..He is the light of my life. He is my smile. He is such a happy kid. Hugs and kisses makes him happy. He says he will never leave and get married..All kids say that..but ill enjoy it while I can. He is a great kid who has so much to offer the world. Like his brother, Gabriel too will grow to be a great man! U can bank on that!*Gabriel has been diagnosed wit Autism. I found out when he was around 2 1/2. It has been an eye opening experience. I dont look back, I just put him and my daughter on my back and keep pressing forward.
*I have this site strictly for Awareness, Support, Friends , Family and a Place for Gabriel , Desirae and I. Instead of Autism placing these little angels in their own world, I created our World of Autism, consisting of many not just one.. Gabriel , Desirae and I are in a world of our own now , hoping to meet new people.*Im drivin to make life somehow easier for my kids for the future, so Ill go through the daily struggles now, while I can..:)*I cant begin to tell you how much this page has helped not just me but so many other's. I want this page to represent a positive outlook. Our children depend on it. If not us then who.*I go thru daily struggles, as a parent, a single mom, an employee, an x wife, a mother having to deal with Autism and other issues related to it, but in truth I would not have it any other way. This is my journey that has been chosen for me. I dont question it, I just handle it. I trust that god knows what he is doing.*One day when my daughter and I fell to our knees with despair,,,I picked her and myself up and said ," now thats enough, we have to leave it in god's hands and trust in him. Cause I dont know if what im doing is right, your dad dont know ,u and your brother's dont know. Lets let god guide us, cause he started all this and he is the ONLY one who knows what he is doing! " We began to laugh and since then, we try to listen very carefully.*My children are the world to me. I will do what ever it takes for them to succeed and be happy. It is my job to. A job that I am proud of, challenges or not. Gabriel will succeed, he has a purpose, just like the rest of our kids do. So Ill keep my head up, till he can take over..:)*In the end I will exhale, and be at peace looking over my family as they all have smiles on. I will be a bit scuffed up, bruised up, worn out and somewhat out of breath due to being mom and challenging everyone who says " He cant" or " She wont" In the end Ill show them how wrong they all were..I know this with all of our kids.*Love and faith is the best combo in the world to achieve and succeed!....*God bless and keep your heads up. We are in this fight together. Thanks to those that choose to help us along the way and teaching our children along the way as well.....
