(Picture of my son. That’s mommy’s baby.)
Someone suggested that I should talk more about my struggles with my autistic son so that other mothers and families of autistic children could identify with someone who is going through the same thing as they are. I listened to the suggestion and understood what the person was saying but I didn’t want to make this blog a pity party for me.
Although my son can be trying and challenging he is also a joy in my life on so many levels and I NEVER regretted having him in my life not for a moment.
So I explained to a friend that although I live with autism everyday to not be mistaken…We live a rich life because there is so much more to our lives than autism. Although it maybe more challenging to have a child with autism we TRY not to allow it to stop us from living a full life. We travel, we take our kids on outings every week, we organize outtings with friends and family, and I’m currently planning a cruise for 50+ people.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that there is so much more to me and my family than autism. Yes it effects us but it doesn’t stop us. Like I mentioned in the section “About Me” I like to talk about all the aspects of me and my life (Autism is one aspect) but I don’t want to be limited to autism.
I want my readers to know that yes parents of autistic children can laugh, have friends, cook from scratch:), travel, and are capable of living a happy life.
Yes I will write posts on autism but I will also write posts on God, (because I love HIM),my favorite books (because I love to read), my new favorite recipe (because I enjoy cooking), and my husband and kids (because I live with them and that are an important part of my life).
I want to share with you guys my struggles, joys, achievements, hopes, dreams, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
That way you can truly relate to the woman named Tree.
