Following an abrupt introduction into the world of Special Needs children after the birth of my very premature (14 weeks to be precise) son I embarked on a journey. If you are reading these words I suspect you or someone you know is travelling a similar path. My intention in these pages is to share information about the therapies and treatments that are within the scope of my experience as a parent.
I have two boys with Special Needs. My elder son has a diagnosis of Asperger's. He is a very articulate young man and as is so often true of people with such a diagnosis, his impairment is invisible. This does not make his journey any easier. If anything life is more difficult because there are so many people that cannot or will not accept him for the person that he is.
My younger son has a diagnosis of Autism. He also experiences life with mobility issues stemming from Cerebral Palsy and to add another perspective for all of us to discover, he is deaf. For him, having a visible disability is hard because when people look at him, they percieve a child of a much younger age and tend to treat him that way.
The learning curve has been incredibly steep over the past few years. It is my desire to share information that I have gathered over the years. I invite you to read the articles, leave a comment, or send me an email at contact@autismaspergersandmoreohmy.com if you have something you would like to see included.
