I decided a few days ago, that I needed to start writing down some of my experiences as a mom with autism. I know that there are probably hundreds, if not thousands of these blogs around, but this isn't really the point. I need somewhere to share information I find, my reactions to the news I get or read, and other personal things I want to share about my life with my daughter and fiancé.
What do you want to know about us, I wonder?
Anthony and I are engaged to be married on October 6th, of 2012. We're happily living together in our new house with my daughter Alena, our two dogs, Roscoe and Moomoo, and our two cats, Inara and Emmanuel. We love furry things, in case you couldn't tell.
Alena is my kiddo from a previous marriage, though Anthony treats her like she were his own. It's adorable to watch them do things together. She trusts him more than she does me sometimes. Probably because he doesn't often get to come when she has to go to the doctor's office... Currently, Alena is enrolled in IBI therapy through Kinark Child and Family Services. She goes every weekday, like a regular school, and has made amazing progress since starting therapy in April of 2010.
Our lives can get pretty hectic between meeting her needs, meeting our own needs, and at the same time trying to live productive lives! But, I wouldn't have it any other way.
My goal here is to make at least two posts a week. I know that seems like so few to some people, but that's how much I am willing to commit to for now. If it goes well, and I find myself able to do so without stress or strain on my family, I will up the ante.
Once again, Welcome to Autism and We.
