I wanted to take a few paragraphs to re-introduce or update my purpose, my preface to my blog.
I started several years ago with a load of thoughts floating around in my head my entire purpose for writing was to accomplish one goal: If on single pierce of advise or information could/would help one other family my job was complete! I think I have done that .I have no intention of stopping and will continue to post..however I go thru rough patches where I have lots of things I want to write about yet struggle to get them posted and other times where I want to write yet feel the material is either not exactly what I want it to be or I can't co structure the post in an effective way...hence gaps.
Whenever I am introducing someone to my blog I always explain it as just a mom and her observations...Iam not trying to convince someone my way is the best way, rather I ran into a situation...this is how I observed and assessed it and this is what I did about it....from that I hope that each person can take that and mold it into what works for them and their family...
There is also the persons who are reading for informational purposes teachers or other professional as well as a few friends or people who are affected by Autism somewhere in their family or community and simply read to hear another viewpoint.
My blog is simple and easy and not a professional blog...it has what I call short story status..a few paragraphs on one topic perhaps how two or more things come together. I also write or comment on things like meds,scripts, school districts, dealing with agencies and programs, recreational challenges and professionals.
There is a search box you can input words to find things that pertain to what you might want to read.I have about 400 posts over the course of several years. I make every effort not to repeat myself yet some topics are far more vast and complicated and sometimes draw on different points of view .
I haven't promoted my blog but use it as a signature for some posts on the Internet....I would love for it to generate conversation and even comments or a community of people who would learn from each other. I also feel it serves as an outlet for me to vent and has positive effect on my frame of mind as it serves me to work out the kinks sometimes when I can't seem to find an answer
Most importantly I hope it serves to help anyone who might be involved with my son and helps with insight on our daily lives, struggles and challenges. Every individual is different and has different needs;the common denominator is autism. I only try to focus on our journey and hope somehow it is of use to someone else...I hope anyone who views this blog will please feel free to tell others
about it as I feel it has value to those of us who walk this path.
