Autism April

Today is the end of autism awareness month. I have enjoyed sharing some of the funny stories about Emily. I am so appreciative of the support that I receive daily though you all reading my blog and commenting. Every day is an autism awareness day for me. I am constantly learning new methods in dealing with behaviors. I am constantly educating others about Emily. Raising a special needs child is sometimes lonely and scary. The future looms over my head and as much as I want to know exactly what it holds for her, I don't. I know that there is much planning I have to do in the next few years to prepare her for a life once she is out of school. She will always be with me and for that I am grateful. She is such a bright light even on the darkest of days. The humor I find in the things she does is second to none. I truly wish that everyone could see her as I do.

Thanks for reading, sharing laughs and getting to know my Emily!
