Introduction

I am a mother of a 5-year-old autistic son.  He was diagnosed when he was 2 and has been in special education services since.  We are very fortunate for all the progress he has had in the 3 years, but we still face a long road.

What causes Autism is unknown.  There are many theories out there and I believe in a mixture of them.  Every person reacts differently to things, whether or not they have a disability. 

I am starting this blog to document and, hopefully, help people out there that might not know what to do or find knowledge in my experiences to help with theirs.  My next blog post will be giving a brief insight into our challenges and successes.  As time progresses, I will be discussing specific tricks and tips, as well as, giving more information on behaviors and what we go through with my son.
