Welcome
My husband and I learned in December 2005 that our son Peter, who was almost three, was autistic (specifically mild/moderate autism). In March 2006, we learned that his little brother Nathan was also autistic and was given a specific (or non-specific) diagnosis of PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified).
Since then, we have joined the ranks of about a million other families who are coping with the everyday challenges and stresses of living with autism. If you find comfort in these postings then this will have been worth it.
Let me say that each autistic child is unique just as each neuro-typical child is unique. Anything my children do or do not do may or may not be something your child does. Look to these postings as someone who walks with you-- we'll try to find humor in the odd things our children do and comfort in each of our challenges. Be sure to find support-- either in a local autism support group or with another family. Also, check around for doctors in your area who work specifically with children with autism.
You are the best advocate for your child.
