Autism: Lost in Translation
My struggles being a mother to a child on the autism spectrum. My journey and experiences good and bad with the hopes to help another parent to a newly diagnosed child feel not so alone.

Why blog about it...?
Recently my brain has reached it's full capacity for most of the thoughts I keep to myself. I thought about journaling but that's just one more thing to carry around that is less discreet than a phone when I need to get the thoughts out of my head. So I chose to blog instead. This is new to me so hopefully it will get better with time. Strangely, as I articulate the thoughts inside my head I feel like a best selling author but when I go to verbalize them I sometimes sound like a bumbling idiot or I can't get past the tears. The words just don't flow properly. I played with the thought, asked some of my close friends and family, and I think the only person who gave me a green light to the idea was my sister who is also blogging about her journey into the world of sewing (silverliningsoriginals.blogspot.com). I wanted a place to express my frustrations, my joys, my highs and my lows, my discoveries and give anyone who may be in the same boat as me, a person to relate to. I'm hoping this is what I need, even if nobody ever reads one post, for me it will be therapeutic and a great timeline to see where I was and how far I've come..
