I asked my husband what he thought about my blog and he says that a lot of my other content takes away from the seriousness of the autism issue. I told him that was my intent. He then said, “I’m proud of you”, and told me that if my intent was to show that there’s more to life than just autism, then I have suceeded in my goal.
I didn’t want to just focus on the “doom and gloom” of my situation (our situations). I want you to be informed as well as entertained. If you look on my blog and you get inspired to try something new with your child to help them in everyday life AND you so happen to look at the WTF News and *LYAO* then I have acheived my goal.
We have to live. We can’t stop living because bad things happen to us. I am a walking disaster with broken bones and a child with autism but I try to live everyday with a smile in my heart and on my face and I hope to be…contagious.
I love ya’ll.

Ilicia, thanks for sharing. I see you all the time at the hospital. You bring joy to all the units you visit and to the people who work there. I had no idea what your life was like outside the hospital until I read a bit on fb and on this blog. Thanks for sharing. It has made my day!

Hi just stopped by to show my love. I am not sure what you or any other parent has to go through with a child with autism but I pray for you guys all the time. I wanted to show my support in this cause and wanted you to know that I am thinking about you in every step of the way.

Thank You so much for your heartfelt compassion and honesty on this matter. I am going through so much with my 20 month old son Michael. I found you on youtube first, and I am grateful for your views. I have my son in early intervention, for Speech, OT, Behvioral Therapy’s. I have an appointment with Developmental Pediatrician coming in 4 months, as the waiting list in PA is at least 12 months. Thank You and Blessings to you and your family.

Thank you, Nicole, for writing me. *smile* I had gotten so busy with everything else that I sometimes forget that I’m in charge of this blog. I will continue to write about our journey together in hope that it will give other parents comfort through the uncertainty that we face. I also want to commend you for an awesome job in getting your son, Michael, the EARLY therapy that he needs and being diligent in your quest to find his diagnosis. You are brave and you ARE doing the right thing (don’t let anyone tell you different). Find me on Facebook or if you want to email me, my info is on here…firstborn2autism@yahoo.com (I’m not hard to find) *hugs*
