Where is the Acceptance HWY? Before we get to this list I would like to say I never got the memo telling me to dub myself an "Autism Mom." It never occurred to me that I was one. When I came on-line 5 yrs. ago I realized it was a thing people do or

When a child is born a first time parent wonders so many things. How will I be as a parent? What will I do? How will I ever teach another human being to talk? I remember distinctly asking my mother, "How do you teach a baby to talk?" That seemed like such
