In the beginning

Im the mom of two boys on the spectrum. My eldest N who is a teenager has aspergers. My youngest A has "regular" autism and will just be going to kindergarten this fall and both have adhd. This blog is my way of a) sharing what raising children on the spectrum is like because I can say from experience that raising autistic children is an isolating experience at times and nothing seems to help mentally more than knowing someone else has gone through what you are and b) therapy for me because there are things I need to say and sometimes telling family doesn't have the same therapeutic effect as telling others who aren't there everyday.
