My journey with autism began when I received the diagnosis in 1996.  I had many questions about a disorder that showed up in my only son with no warning signs and no prognosis.  I was forced to face the reality that there was no roadmap to follow regarding his future.  It is now twenty-five years later, and I know that being a parent to an autistic child is my greatest accomplishment.

Our journey is the driving force that allowed me to create the Autism Screams Logo.  I want individuals to know that the characteristics that I discovered throughout my journey with my son brought out the beauty in the world.  He enhanced my ability to love; have compassion; practice patience; embrace uniqueness and show empathy.  My hope is to help individuals living with the disorder understand that there is a silver lining in every cloud if you dig deeply in your soul.

Please support our commitment to increase autism awareness where resources and information may be limited.  A percentage of the proceeds will go to assist Autism Organizations that are committed to educate, inform, and inspire individuals about the disorder!
