I am an Autism Mom. That took me years of tears and confusion, laughter and pain, fighting and advocating, plus rationalizing and self-blame to say and really feel. It wasn't because I was ashamed or secretive about my son's diagnosis; I was actually very loud and proud. As parents of special needs kids, we want to protect them from the label. I too was afraid to let this label, this Autism Mom define me, become me, swallow me whole. And just as I have treated my son as a person, as a kid, as CADEN, not as an Autistic being, I have learned that I am Alli, I am me. And yes, I am an Autism Mom, but I am so much more. For all moms, dads, caretakers, and friends of kids with special needs, let these pages show you that it is okay. They are not broken. Life is not over or ruined, worse or damaged because of this child. It is the exact opposite. You are amazing and strong and one of a kind. Embrace the life you were given because you were chosen for a reason. Special people are given special kids. Feel the magic of the gifts you have been given. Give yourself grace and know that life is hard, but it is also yours to live the way you want to live it. Through these pages I share our inside story. With special notes, highlighted points, glossary, and resources, we convey what has been important to us and what might be helpful to you as you start or continue on your journey with autism.
