Being lucky

I am a truly lucky woman. I gave birth to a 9lb 13oz healthy baby boy in 2005. I wanted him so much and he was a real blessing. Our situation financially was not ideal, but like many other brave mothers before me I decided to keep my baby and shower him with all the love of my being. Figure out the rest as we go. We were not destitute or homeless but we struggled. I was so lucky to have great friends and some family to support us emotionally and lend us financial help when they could. My sweet baby boy. This blog is about our life together day to day. My son I will call him Arthur for the sake of his privacy is an amazing 4 year old child now. He has grown so fast. Arthur was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old.

This blog is about my son and I and our lives together with autism. I will tell you things that perhaps you didn't know about autism. What it is like to get the diagnoses. The feelings , struggles,day to day life , our past stories and you can come on this journey with us. You are welcome to ask questions or give advice if you like.
