I belong to four different listservs related to autism and right now my contribution to “spreading awareness” is responding to newcomers to those lists and questions posted.

what makes you who you are? 2 years ago

Our son Max was diagnosed with autism in November 2005. He has so many other fine characteristics: sense of humor, affectionate, curious, great balance, learns new things very quickly, loves outdoors. . .

Spreading awareness about autism is (to me) important because: parenting is a huge job under any circumstances and it is too easy to become isolated and feel you’re alone when you’ve got the extra responsibility of caring for someone who needs a lot.
