April is autism awareness month. I decided that each day in April, I will post a little view into how our lives are touched by autism. I typically try to keep things upbeat when I talk about autism, because I prefer to look at it in a positive light. However, as a mother of children who have autism, I also feel it is my job to educate and give insight. Autism can be very challenging for both the autistic child and the parents, and a lot of people see the moments of struggle and cast judgement. This is a serious problem, and one I hope to start to change by teaching others about life with autism. So, some of my posts will be the upbeat, silly, and beautiful side of autism, and some will be about the challenges. My hope is that by the end of the month, everybody who reads them will have a better understanding of what our lives are like, and will have experienced a glimpse into the world of autism.
