As an Autism mom, I know firsthand the stress and confusion that comes with raising a child on the spectrum. Fear, guilt, anger, and confusion persist. I know; I've been there and often find myself still feeling some of those emotions. As a single mother to an amazing 6-year-old child who has autism, I can tell you firsthand how challenging the journey is. Only by embracing your child and their experience as well as your own will you and your child thrive. A diagnosis is not a sentence letter. It is a road map toward a thriving life. However, you will need support. Community and Education are essential. While you process your child's diagnosis and seek out services for your child, seek out services for your mental and emotional health too. I am here to help.
