I Am Me Tutorial

Before we get started I want to take a moment to say, that Autism Awareness in near and dear to my heart. I have one high-functioning autistic child and another one on the spectrum (Aspergers). While our days may be tough, I would not change them or their diagnosis for the world. While my boys are able to communicate, it isn't always the case with autism. 

Our children who act out is not the result of bad or lazy parenting or any other label you want to put on the parents/children. Please take a moment to learn more about Autism, before you look at a parent in disgust when a child is having a meltdown in the grocery store or mumble under your breath that the parent needs to spank the child when you are out to eat at your favorite restaurant. 

Take the first step and learn more here.
