Autism: Life on the Spectrum
My son has PDD-NOS (on the Autism Spectrum), ADHD and SPD. I started this blog as a way to share my experiences with other moms who might be in similar circumstances. I became a mom late in life, so I love spending every minute with my wonderful son and my family. I also take care of my 87 year old mom, my husband and two dogs.
