Weird that my son with autism was born in April or maybe weird that they chose his birth month to have Autism Awareness month, either way it is strange.
I wanted to write about autism from a different perspective, well from my own perspective I guess. I don't relate to the crusading moms who are all over the airwaves and writing to the school boards and contesting their kids IEPs. Not that they are bad, I'm just not like that. That fact used to make me feel bad, like if I don't spend all my time and money on therapy and treatments that I am a failure as a mom of a son on the spectrum. But after some therapy of my own I think I am doing pretty good.
I call this spectrum schmectrum because most of the time I am not thinking "my kid has autism" just going through life the best I can.
