Hi there! Its really tough when you have a kiddo diagnosed with Autism or a Special Need of some sort to put yourself out there and do things that parents with NT kids do. Im not pitting folks against each other, the overall experience is just different. We get the stares, the "How could that parent let that child get AWAY with that!" sort of feedback at malls, parks, playgrounds. . .just walking around. I am proposing a group thats only semi organized since many of us live in a life thats f …

The purpose of the group is to provide support for parents whose kids have multiple needs and many acronyms (ASD, PDD-NOS, NVLD, HFA, SI, ADHD, etc.,!) I know there are other parents like me whose children need multiple therapies, appointments, school accommodations, parent-created behavior plans, and super-hero advocates in their parents. It is exhausting, overwhelming, and often isolating. I hope we can share resources and support, and have a little fun while we're at it. Feel free to e-mail m …

I am mom to a 3 1/2 year old daughter diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum over a year ago. I've had a hard time making connections with other moms and dads with kids on the spectrum. I'd like to find some local friends to get together for coffee to vent and laugh over our struggles and triumphs. I'm thinking that once a week for an hour get together would be nice. But I'm flexible. Let's see what other local parents need. Let's support one another!

I set this group up because I want to discuss issues and solutions around how diet and nutrition can impact and improve the wellness of children with special needs. Do you know a child with allergies, anxiety, stomachaches, a picky eater, ASD, ADHD, PDD-NOS, quirky etc. It can be challenging to teach children about healthy eating -- especially if the child is very picky and/or resistant to new foods. If you are a parent, a service provider, a grandparent, or a person living with special needs y …
