I created this site to inform others about the signs of autism, to understand how to interact with those who have autism, to learn the process of getting a diagnosis, and to demonstrate how life with autism can look.
This is Jack. Oh how we love him! Jack was diagnosed at age 4 with ‘mild to moderate autism’. And now he’s 8. We’ve been through so many of the ups, downs, backwards and forwards that autism brings.
This autism blog is where we share our story, with these purposes in mind:
