Hi, My name is Laura. I am a stay at home mom of 5. Holden 16, Ashley 13, Gavin 12, Desiree 8, and Joey 6. I am married to a wonderful man whom will retire from the US Navy this summer. We have been married for 7 years so you can see we have a blended family.
My son Gavin was finally diagnosed with Autism at the age of 3 after many visits to the Dr. I had to demand he have an EEG because of the old song and dance, "He will catch up, there is nothing wrong with him."
Gavin is very High functioning. I do count my blessings everyday knowing that some parents have so much more to deal with.
I hope to learn much from this group and to hopefully help as well. Thank you so much for having a place for parents of Autism to share. Hugs, Laura

I hear ya about counting your blessings. Sometimes thats the only thing that helps me deal with my stress is to stop and think about how much more stressful others have it.
