And Happy Autism Awareness Month!
What a perfect day to start blogging right!? This blog is new but I’m definitely not new to writing! I’ve been sharing our journey over at Love Hope & Autism On Facebook for a few years now and I’ve always wanted to start blogging too. And thanks to my awesome friend Holly for helping me set this up… here we are!
So for those who don’t know me, or haven’t been following along on Facebook, let me tell you a little about me and why I’m here!
This little guy right here that’s why! 🙂
I am a wife and mom of three! I am passionate about spreading autism awareness and increasing acceptance and inclusion. Our son Ethan, nickname “Bubba”, is almost 8 years old and was diagnosed with autism at 3. He LOVES dinosaurs! He enjoys playing outside and wrestling around with his twin brother. He has a laugh that is truly contagious! And a smile that can light up a whole room. 🙂 He keeps us on our toes and I’m pretty sure my husband and I have become mom and dad ninjas! Ha ha! (He likes to throw)
Im sharing our journey and our stories because autism impacts everyone differently. We have different back grounds, different stories, different walks of life…. but one thing I do know is that it’s a roller coaster ride for everyone! Ups… downs.. highs… lows… and sometimes you get the big loops and spins!
Through the good days and hard days, I want you to know that I “get it” . … that I’ve been there… and most importantly I want you to know that you are NOT alone!
I’m excited to start this new chapter and look forward to sharing our crazy, busy, messy and sometimes comical life with all of you!
