Hello and Welcome to Autism Clues!

Full disclosure; I am not an autism expert, I am not a doctor, nor a therapist. I am not claiming to have the answers or know more than anyone. Heck, I am not even a trained writer!. I am just a mom seeking to improve as a parent and as a human, finding ways to help my son reach his full potential and live a happy life.

My son is almost ten years old. We are in a good place now, but it hasn’t always been this way. When he was diagnosed, I felt so lost; I was the parent pulled over to the curb, with my shirt ripped off because I couldn't breathe, as I cried uncontrollably mid panic attack.

We have grown so much together; there has been so much progress, that I felt compelled to create a space to share aspects of my journey that may be helpful to other parents. His teenage years are just around the corner, and I know that I will need all the help and clues from other parents that I can get.

With this blog, I hope we share experiences, clues and best practices to help each other through the ups and downs of the most important job of humanity; parenting.

No matter where you are in your journey as a parent; special needs or not, please share your best piece of parenting advice in the comments below. I want to learn from you!

With love, 

Gisele
