This is my first attempt at blogging so please bear with me as I learn the ins and outs. I'm the mom of a 15 year old son Jamie, who is autistic and non verbal. My son regressed, lost his language and was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old. Over the years I've learned a lot about living with autism, how to locate resources and activities available to kids with autism in Southern California. I started this blog to hopefully share what I've learned with other families who are also living with autism and to hopefully make their journey a little easier. Until next time I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes that seems to apply to those with autism even though it was written many years prior to the first documented case. While the goal of every parent is to improve their child's life as much as possible we also need to cherish the things that make our children so special and unique.
"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away."
Henry David Thoreau 1817-1862
