I am a father of an 11 year old son Charlie. Charlie has autism. Welcome to my site giving you loads of information about Autism. Please send me in your stories.
I am going to see if I can supply useful helpful quality information to my readers. The aim will be to provide information for a person’s first time inquiry or people just looking for solutions to a challenging issue. By reading the blogs I am hoping to get parents talking to one another, understanding our wonderful kids and possibly preempting some of their behaviours.
As a parent of a child with Autism I have gathered a wealth of do’s and do not’s, when it comes to the quirks of a child on the spectrum. I am simply going to start to build an informative website for the people who have yet to reach where I am in life. I am also hoping to get feedback relating to the issues I have yet to face. Every parent has to meet and conquer the challenges they face with their autistic children, so what I am suggesting is that we meet these challenges together.
I would like people to send me stories of their true life experiences and challenges surrounding Autism and Asperger syndrome. I will log the stories so that people across the world will be able to read about the real life issues and complications relating to Autism Spectrum Disorder. There are so many ordinary people affected by Autism, these people have a vast treasure trove of knowledge. This knowledge is gained in many cases, by real life situations and is not found in scientific Autism literature. Challenges like Potty Training, Night Terrors, obesity and Autism and brushing your teeth, are not readily available on one site. Now is the time for me to stop talking about creating a site and actually do something about it. People power is what I am hoping for and the time for my contribution is now.
