Autism Support and Resources

There are four members of our family diagnosed with autism.  

Jason, my husband and father to my children, was diagnosed as an adult, after we completed our family.  

Our two sons, Dinomite and Bulldozer, were diagnosed at the ages of 4 and 3 respectively.  

Our adopted daughter Sunshine was also diagnosed at the age of 3.

We love each and every member of our family.

We love what autism brings to our lives.

But, this does not mean that there aren't challenges along the way, just like there are challenges in every family, whether members are autistic or not.

Here on our Autism Support and Resources page, we share our journey, experiences (good and bad), best tips and resources, and our love.  

We hope you find these resources helpful.

Autism Supports and Resources

Our Views on Autism

Before we share stories and discuss resources, we find it important to explain our view on autism. Through these articles you can get to know us and decide if in fact you will find our resources helpful.

Help for Caregivers Navigating Autism

Navigating help and resources can be extremely difficult and overwhelming when trying to help an autistic child.  

Things become more complicated when you are brand new to the autism world, professionals are recommending several forms of help, and you don't understand anything that anyone is saying.

All you know is that you want to help your autistic child be the best he can be.  

We hope these articles help you during that process.

     

Marriage and Autism

I have always said that the positive outweighs the negative when it comes to being married to an autistic man.  So many things that I love about my husband are a result of his autism.  

This doesn't mean that we don't have challenges though.  We work extremely hard to make our marriage the best it can possibly be.

We are excited to share our journey with you in hopes that it can inspire and help during challenging times.

Our Favorite Things

Throughout the years we've discovered items we definitely can't live without.  These are those items!  We know they won't work for everyone, but we do hope they inspire ideas that will help your family needs.

 

FREE Autism Printables

 

Sometimes printables are the exact resource you need to work through a challenge related to autism.  Here are ones we've created over the years that we highly recommend.

Posts Written by an Autistic Adult

Though my autistic husband isn't the biggest fan of writing posts, I have been able to encourage him to write the posts below.  We hope that reading an autistic adult's perspective may help parents of children with autism.
