Our adorable babies come into this world and we are filled with joy and happiness. But, before we can enjoy the moment, milestones are our sole focus.
His First Words, And How It Healed My Soul
So let me tell you about the most AMAZING day of my life since giving birth to Little Rock. The day he spoke his first word.
Temple Grandin ZOOMED with US
I wanted to say that getting to actually ask Temple Grandson questions was awesome. I have seen several recordings of her speak, but never been able to ask questions. That was really neat. - Stacey Berry, Autism Mom
I am grateful….and to those who continued to encourage me, friends and family, THANK YOU!

Is My 2yr Old Showing Signs of ASD?
I know doctors cannot tell me in the group and can really only tell me to go see a doctor, Â lol but I'd love any opinions. Anyone else notice similar things, who's best to go to that will actually take me seriously? He's always chewed on everything but most recently...
