i am a mother of two children by different fathers both on the spectrum
but on two different levels of autism and delays. I NEVER THOUGHT I BE A MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN WITH AUTISM BUT NOW I HAVE LIVED IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND ENVIRONMENTS I WOULDNT CHANGE IT ANY OTHER WAY. MY OLDEST IS NOW 10 SHE HAS THE ASPERGERAS SYNDROME OF AUTISM SHE IS LITTLE SLOW ON HER SPEECH AND STILL DOES HAVE HER HAND FLAYING AND HER FITS BUT SHE IS GETTING BETTER AS SHE GETS OLDER. SHE WAS ALMOST 8 WHEN SHE GOT OUT OF PULLUPS BUT NOT BY MY CHOICE SHE LIVES WITH HER DAD. BUT WHEN I DO GET HER I WORK WITH HER AND SPEEECH IS GETTING MUCH BETTER NOW JUST WORK ON HOW SHE INTERACTS WITH PEOPLE IN PUBLIC MORE CAUSE SHE REALLY DONT GO OUT MUCH WITH HER DAD.
NOW MY OTHER SON HE IS 5 HE HAS AUTISM BUT IS NONVERBAL PLAYS BYSELF RATHER THAN WITH OTHERS UNLESS THEY HAVE AUTISM ALSO HE GOES TO A SPECIAL SCHOOL HE HAS MADE MAJOR IMPROVMENTS AT THIS SCHOOL HE KNOWS HOW TO MATCH HIS COLOORS HE LOVES MICKEYMOUSE AND HE IS VERY AFFECTIONATE. SO IN MY UNDERSTANDING OF AUTISM THERE ARE MANY LEVELS MY DAUGHTER IS VERY BOOK AND VIDEO SMART MY SON IS LITTLE INTO BOOKS BUT LOVES HIS IPAD AT SCHOOL SO THIS IS A FUTRUE INVESTMENT WE ARE LOOKING INTO FOR HIM AT HOME
