View MoreThis group is an extension from a group I created on facebook years ago when my son was diagnosed with Autism. I'm not an expert and can only hope we all can share Our individual experience with Autism in hopes to never feel alone and to Advocate for our loved ones Be their Voice. Over the years I've watched the amount of mother's and father's post about there children being newly diagnosed, I've seen so many mom's cry and want to to give up ,I've been there . last I checked the cdc 1/54 children 1/3 boys are being diagnosed this to me is heartbreaking. A little about our autism, My son Blake is 7 At 15mo old Blake was Diagnosed With Autism Level 2 with accompanying language impairment, global developmental delay NOS, Pica, Abnormal Gait, Sensory Processing Disorder. Any many more labels I don't think define my son. Blake is non verbal still in pull ups and I'm a single mom Age 41 ..I'm tired as are you I'm sure. My goal is always to Advocate for two things above all ...Acceptance and Inclusion I have been thru hell and back in all areas of autism and can only hope my experiences can help another family. One thing I want all families to know ' " you got this , your rockstars, your not alone, your allowed to be sad and be open minded to better understand your child it does wonders but also I want to invite you into our life to shed light and hope that with proper therapy and patience for us I've seen amazing progress that just began . Age 7 my son is finally attempting to speak he said mom in his own way and I never thought I would . We celebrate even the smallest of accomplishments. This is not a place of judgement or fights about what causes autism I have my opinion just like you it's called freedom of speech and I will not entertain any members speaking bad or insulting other members .Autism is a spectrum meaning no one's Autism is the same . It's ok mamas and papas everything your feeling is ok ... My first words of advice based simply off my experiences with my son.. Don't assume they don't know what your saying I without a doubt believe our family members are in there, trapped, frustrated, uncomfortable and geniuses ....Don't be so quick to always pull them to what we call normal ..jump into there world every once in awhile see why and what is making them stem. You WilI be amazed . In conclusion Sensory Processing Disorder....Huge I believe the backbone of autism ... study study study..... you will see your family member In a whole new light I promise Welcome Autism Awareness 2021 Patience is the key and unconditional love. Hugs Reno NV Autism Mama Bear
