Acceptance of Autism in my daughter

We have been on a long journey since Millie's 2nd birthday in 2007. I had expressed concerns about her development to her pediatrician, and he blew me off saying that she would "grow out of it" and "catch up later." I continued to be concerned, finding even the most basic of things (teaching Millie to feed herself with a utensil) difficult. A family friend, who is an ENT resident at a local university hospital, took my husband aside in early June 2008 and expressed his concerns that Millie was s… Continue

My story

I have twins with Aspergers Syndrome and Adhd. It has been a challenging ride so far---they were diagnosed at age 4 and are now 11.

Welcome!

Welcome to our community!

This is an unmoderated forum where we can connect with anyone in Kentucky to openly share ideas, insights, practices, and advice on issues relating to autism spectrum disorders. Our hope is that in having open, online conversations in which anyone can participate, the knowledge base of all participants can be enriched. More importantly, however, it would be a space where we can make human connections with one another.

If you are one of the fortunate people to have had autism touch your life or you wish to learn more about it, we welcome you. We hope that you enjoy this space to ponder common issues, explore ideas, and act as sounding boards with one another. As a co-owner of this space, we expect that you will exercise your freedom to share your ideas and opinions with the community in a judicious and respectful manner to others.

Thank you for becoming a part of our community.
