ASD Parent

It is a great home that this blog becomes a place to express feeling about being a parent of a child on the spectrum. Things can be hard when you are raising a child on the spectrum or with any other delay's. I really do find it hard to cope some times. Hoping to make some friends learn some information and hopefully be useful to some one else. I am also hoping to learn how others cope with the expense, the time and the energy required to take care of a Child on the spectrum. My Daughter loves the color yellow, mini mouse, flowers of any variety an cartoons about insects, she is autistic and nonverbal we have had going on 3 years of therapy just to try to help her talk, but nothing yet. For a girl who does not speak she sure does express her self. I am lucky to have her and lucky to feel the affection that she displays to me when she displays it to me. I am also lucky not to be raising her alone, if it wasn't for my wife i probably would have given up on therapy a long time ago. The only therapy we wish she had witch unfortunately isn't covered by Medicaid is ABA therapy. I work all i can and my wife is a stay at home mother whom spends all of her time and energy trying to raise and teach our daughter. Thank you for reading and understanding.
