It’s been a year since I started writing this blog and it’s been a great experience! I didn’t realize how much writing about our lives would help me – and I love interacting with each of you!
When Casey was diagnosed in 1992, the hardest part was feeling so alone and the only thing people knew about autism was what they saw in the movie “Rainman.” (By the way – loved the movie, even if I later learned life with autism wasn’t quite as depicted.) My biggest hope is that by sharing our dreams and hopes, our struggles and what we’ve overcome and our day to day lives will keep others from feeling that intense loneliness.
Also, by sharing our circus, we are spreading the awareness that all families desperately need.
Casey picked out the picture for this. Sesame Street is the best, you know!
Remember – April 2nd World Autism Day. Wear
Here’s to another year of laughs and love! You all rock!
