Autism

It's such a small word for such a huge diagnosis.  I read a quote today from Aaron Likens that said, "If you've met one person with Autism, you've met ONE person with autism."  How true.  My J is like no one else in the world.  

He's sweet.

He's kind.

He loves to read.

He loves to yo yo.

He is obsessed, literally, with all things electronic.

He feels safer lying under things.

He stays up all night most nights.

He is more than a word-Autism.

He is more than his diagnosis.

I am going to use this blog to vent, talk, gather research, and just do what I do.  There are days that I need to celebrate, and there are days that I need to cry out to God.  

Right now I am completely overwhelmed with the information that is out there.  This place will help me organize it.  On this journey, I hope that you and I can both learn together.  Laugh together.  Cry together.

He is more than just his diagnosis.  He is my son.
