About Our Autism Journey

We are a family navigating the beautiful and complex world of autism, and this is our story. Our website, "Our Autism Journey," was born from a desire to connect, share, and find community after our incredible son, J, was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum.

When we first started this path, we felt a mix of emotions and had so many questions. We searched for stories that felt like our own—real, unfiltered accounts of the day-to-day challenges and the unexpected moments of pure joy. We wanted to hear from other parents who understood the late-night worries, the small victories that feel like huge milestones, and the unique love that comes with raising a child with different needs.

That's why we created this space. Our goal is to share our experiences with J, from therapy breakthroughs and communication hurdles to finding the right school resources and simply enjoying our time together as a family. We hope that by documenting our journey, we can offer insights, a sense of solidarity, and a bit of comfort to other families who might be feeling lost or alone.

This is more than just a blog; it's a hand reaching out. It's a place to see that you are not the only one. Our path is filled with both challenges and immense happiness. J has taught us more about patience, love, and seeing the world from a different perspective than we ever could have imagined.

We invite you to follow along, share your own stories if you feel comfortable, and become part of our growing community. Together, we can learn from one another and find strength in knowing we are all on this journey together.
