About Me:

i am a 26 yr old stay at home mommy. I am doing everything and anything i can do to help my son. I love meeting and talking with other parents so i can get/give advice. I spread the word about autism as often as i can!

About Your Autistic Family Member:

My son, Christian Louis, was diagnosed with autism November of 2007. He is such a strong little boy, and he is trying so hard to break away from autism. He attended school for a few months, is out for the summer, and goes to OT twice a week. He can count to 20 and sing his abc's. He doesn't say much besides that, for the past couple months though, he babbles and makes vowel sounds and has said a few small short words, like up, on and of course he says da da. He loves to play peek a boo and go in the pool. He is still bad with other kids and noises, and still needs help with social and play skills. One thing about Christian is that he is always smiling, thats one thing about him that has never stopped. He has been smiling since he was born :) His smile can always brighten my day.

Favorite Thing To Do With Your Autistic Family Member:

We love to go in the pool and swim, eating at the table with him, or anytime when we play together, which is pretty much on and off all day :)

Thing You Hate Most About Autism:

That my son is so frustrated, upset and confused. That he hits himself due to his frustrations. That he cant talk to me to tell me whats wrong. That people stare at him and I when we are at a store if he is crying, and make faces like hes the worst kid on the planet. When people walk by him and say, wow, he needs a nap huh?! Or he sure is a cranky one! Not realizing that it hurts when they say it. Im sure a lot of parents can relate to those things. If you dont know why a child is crying, or wearing something different, or behaves differently, dont stare and SHUT UP!! ... had to get that out...
