I don’t talk about it much, but some of you might know that I have a son who’s autistic. What’s sad is we didn’t know it for years. We knew he was “different,” but we didn’t quite know how to parent that little guy. We made a lot of missteps along the way, but when we–with the help of professionals–confirmed he was autistic, everything changed. He’s a beautiful, wonderful soul who has made my life richer, and I’m grateful that he’s my son.
But we had lots of challenges getting here, challenges that I think would have been mitigated by knowing he was autistic, and that’s why I’m proud to support the 5th Annual Autism Awareness Auction sponsored by TTC Books and More. All proceeds go to support autism awareness. My hope is that there are other parents who will learn what makes their child beautiful and special long before I did.
