About Me
My son may be autistic but I've always been ARTistic. I do every craft there is. I enjoy reading and spending time at home with my family and my animals. I love dogs and cats and all kinds of other animals. I do animal rescue and right now we have a great dane/akita mix and an irish wolfhound and four cats. I also love kids! I have the best job ever because I get to make kids smile! I love babysitting for my friends and spending time with their kids! A good glass of wine is a great way to end a perfect day and sometimes after a stressful day with autism it's just necessary!
My son is amazing! he's got a huge imagination and loves to make up stories about his "hero" Shadow and his friends. My house is full of legos and craft supplies!
I joined looking for more information and maybe some help with some ongoing issues we have. I quit therapy and wrap because the agency we were with was unable to fill hours and they werent working appropriately with my son anyway. Crying for 4 hours every night is no way to spend a childhood.
Im very frustrated with the lack of services in our area and Im worried about the future.
what motivates me is my son and his love!
Hi Heather
Let me extend to you my personal welcome to our AutismOne Social Network. AutismOne is now the “one-stop-shopping center” for information about autism. We have the annual conference in Chicago, AutismOne radio, the Elizabeth Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy and now the AutismOne Social Network (and more to come).
I notice that you’ve not made any entries into your profile. Remember, this is a social network. Part of the function of a social network is to meet and interact with others who have common interests. Of course autism is a common interest. But there is more than that. Individuals like to know about a person before becoming a “friend.” That’s where the profile comes in. So whenever you can find the time, please fill in some of the entries of your profile. To do that just click on “My User Menu” next to the Welcome area on the right. From the resulting menu click on “Edit My Profile” and you will be in business.
Helping you interact with others is one of the many things we can do for you. Now here’s something you can do for us. Log in on a regular basis and read the blogs and articles then write a blog yourself. It can be on any subject of interest to you, preferably with some relevance to autism but not necessarily. It can be short or long, whatever it takes for you to express your thoughts. If you have a question then ask it in a blog--people read then they respond. If you see something with which you agree or disagree then please add a comment with your thoughts. This is an open community designed to help and support. We like to hear all sides.
I am looking forward to reading your opinions in future blogs and/or articles.
With my best regards
Will Price, CFO
AutismOne
