April is Autism Awareness Month. As you know, Brother has high functioning autism. He was diagnosed at the age of 6 the day after I found out I was pregnant with Pumpkin. It was quite a roller coaster ride of emotions. On the one hand, I was relieved that his behaviors were not caused by my mismanagement of discipline. On the other, his life would be so much more burdened by this disorder. I wanted to weep for him, but I knew I needed to be strong and move forward. I have weeped for him since for his milestones and for his setbacks.
I plan on writing a bit each day about life with a child with autism. I hope you will be enlightened.
This is the face of autism.
