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. The “create my own website” goal was originally going to be about autism. There were a couple parent websites that were super helpful to me when our son was first diagnosed.

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. . . I want him to think of himself in terms of his strengths and gifts not so-called limitations. 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.
