Autism

On January 12th, Judge was diagnosed with Autism.  I think I am still shocked, and I know that I am totally overwhelmed.  The only thing on my mind these days is learning as much as I can about this disorder and trying to figure out what is the best way to help my son.  There is so much to learn and so many things to decide but I am trying to take it one day at a time and I just keep leaning on Dave, and my friends for support.  My circle of friends is different these days and I have gotten closer to some amazing moms that inspire me.  When the day gets to be too much I talk to them or stop and think about how much harder it would be if Judge had medical problems also.  My friend Maria has a son with HPE.  She lives and breathes for Jonathan, she is soo devoted to him, to making sure he has the best life possible, and to enjoying her life with him. She is my biggest inspiration.
