Welcome to my little blog all about raising a child with Autism and raising awareness

My son Connor was diagnosed with Autism at age 3. Now, at age 5 the diagnosis clearly takes a back seat to his fantastic personality. His sense of humor breaks through the Autism that has robbed him of his ability to get a grasp on other emotions that come naturally to the typical child. This blog is about one Moms perspective. The ups, downs, fears, joys and hopes that I and so many other Moms and Dads have from day to day when you have a child with Autism. So... read and learn a little, laugh a little, maybe even cry a little, hope a little and shout out with joy along with me!

WANTED!

  After reading some other moms blogs, a funny thought ran through my head. If I were to write a want ad seeking new friends, what would it look like? Here is what I came up with:


                                                     WANTED!

MMOAS (Married Mother of Autistic Son) seeking lasting friendship (a week +). Must be a female (I don't need any trouble at home, thanks!). No experience needed with Autism, but would be a plus. Must be willing to call occasionally and say "Hey, hows it going?". Ideal candidate must contend with me accepting 1 out of 100 invitations to morning coffee, moms nights out,  lunches etc., my house being a wreck on any given day of the week as well as hearing lots of talk about my kids, Autism, etc. Benefits include loyalty, sympathetic listener, free advice and opinions like you wouldn't believe.  Qualified candidate should reply to:

                   1-800-I WILL CALL YOU BACK AS SOON AS I CAN
