My Journey into Autism Parenting: The Start of My Autism Parenting Blog

About me

Hello, I’m April – an autism mom and passionate advocate for parents and caregivers of autistic children. My primary goal is to promote awareness, understanding, and support for the needs and well-being of autistic individuals and their families.

Autism is a spectrum disorder that impacts behavior, learning, and communication. In the case of my son, he falls on the severe end of the spectrum, requiring extensive support. He is nonverbal and also experiences sensory processing challenges. As a result, he receives speech, occupational, and behavioral therapy multiple times a week, along with constant care and supervision.

When my son received his diagnosis, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate this new journey. Autism doesn’t come with a manual, and it can feel daunting to balance therapy appointments, interventions, and the search for resources and support. I understand firsthand the challenges that come with raising an autistic child. That’s why I am committed to providing valuable resources, guidance, and empowerment to parents and caregivers through my blog and social media platforms.

Raising a nonverbal child with autism and sensory processing challenges has completely transformed my perspective on life. It has taught me the importance of living in the present moment and not constantly worrying about the future. Sleep can be a challenge, especially when his schedule gets disrupted. However, witnessing my son’s growth and progress brings immense joy and fulfillment. I am grateful for the opportunity to support him on his unique journey.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if there’s anything I can do to support you and your family. Together, we can navigate this journey and provide the best possible care for our autistic children.

Much love,

April.
