Autism Child Care Connection Network

Advocacy and Support for Individuals w/Autism and their Families

Introductions

Hello All!
Please use this space to introduce yourself to the rest of the network.
I'll go first:

Nicole
Parent of 3 on the spectrum, writer, advocate.
I love gardening, reading and nature. My purpose on this network is meet other like minded individuals who care about individuals diagnosed with autism and finding or creating educational and recreational activities for those individuals. Also want to provide support to those who need it.
Nice to meet you all!

I am LInda.

Mother of 2 (son and daughter) Grandmother of 5 (4 granddaughters and 1 grandson). 3 grands are on the spectrum. I am the youngest sibling of 7; Married to my childhood sweetheart; Love God and am saved by the precious blood of the Lamb, Jesus; Trying to learn how to say "no" but in the mean time am into everything. Though often tired, I'm loving everything that I do. Life is for living and it's hard to fit everything into it but I guess, I'll die trying. Usually say what I mean ...and think; and mean what I say... not necessarily a good thing - but God is not done with me yet. Peace and Love!
Just started a grandparents group... If you are one, come visit ACCC_GPsupport.

I'm Katie, married, and we have two beautiful crazy kiddos. Both of my kids are special needs and have been through the run of the mill with numerous blood tests, x-rays, hospital stays, doctors visits and ER visits. We're currently in the land of "undiagnosed" with Kylie with what we already know. Both are on the spectrum and all 3 of us have the same genetic condition. The only other thing you should probably know about me is that I am a leapyear baby, so technically I'm only 7 years old, LOL. My favorite quote is : "Remember, an alphabet does not make a child. Your child is your child, a diagnosis does not change who they are, just points you to places where you might learn more about your child." :)
