Who am I? Well, I am a mom to 5 kids. Enough said. One of those kids is Jack, who happens to have autism. My husband is an engineer and entertains us with his stories of building and flying drones…

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:
1) To educate the parent, friend or loved one of a child with autism, especially those just starting on this path!
2) To raise awareness and share interaction strategies with everyone
3) To show you how darn lovable and capable our guy is!
Join us as we help our Jack to “Go!” We want to cheer you on as you help others to “Go!” too!!

Jack is the 4th of our 5 kids. As his mother, I started to notice something was off when he was about 3. I sat on…
