A Girl on the Spectrum

I laughed like a hyena. There I was (isn’t that how all good stories start?) in the doctor’s office once again talking about autism…but this time we were talking about my little diva. What? In that moment it was either laugh or cry. Not because autism is a horrible diagnosis, but in that moment, I felt overwhelmed and as if I had failed my diva for the past seven years. I mean, come on, I’m supposed to be “The Aspie Whisperer,” how had I not nailed this one?

Meeting Matthew

I don’t believe in growing up, at least not entirely. However, there are moments in each person’s life, when it becomes necessary to be an adult. For some, those moments come entirely too soon…for others much too late. For me, adulthood slapped me in the face one afternoon in May of 2004. For the first time in my life I truly understood what it meant to experience life altering fear, true love, and endless hope.
