A quotation taken from the blog:
"It’s time we had a resource. This blog is for the confused, confounded, befuddled, baffled, bewildered, perplexed moms–and dads–on the Autism Spectrum out there who feel like they are alone in their situation. Non-autistic folk looking for some parenting anecdotes are welcome as well. I’ll post as regularly as I can, from the front lines of new-motherhood and with the perspective of a diagnosed Aspie with a lot to learn. Mostly on my discoveries and mistakes as I make them, and what I’ve hopefully learned from them, in the hopes that maybe you will stumble across this and not make those mistakes too. It won’t be sugar-coated because we all know life is not a piece of candy!
This is also an open invitation! I’m looking for help…from other Aspies, in sharing your ASD-related parenting experiences both positive and negative, anecdotes, and tips you’ve learned. Constructive advice and experiences from children of Aspie parents is also appreciated. I’m only one inexperienced mom–but together we can really make a difference!
So, Puzzled Parents–maybe if you contribute, we can help bring clarity to the other puzzled moms out there?"
