    I am the parent of a child with autism, on whom was bestowed the coveted and controversial 'recovered' diagnosis. My child was diagnosed "autism: severe-moderate." After much hard work on both our parts, my child "lost the diagnosis," and now is classified either as "autism: recovered," or else as "autism: indistinguishable." I am one of the lucky parents for whom all the hard work seemed to pay off in spades. I am also an autism intervention specialist. I work closely and intimately with my clients, and so keep a very small case load. And, I am in the midst of finishing the research for my PhD. That research keeps me very busy, and helps me keep my case load manageable. When I was going through it as a parent, I searched in vain for, and so wished I could find, someone who could really help me. I know I wanted someone with vast yet specialized knowledge who could devote the time and energy to fully know my child, and who would work hand in glove with me and my child. Now, I strive to fill that void for others, to be the person I so longed for when I was going through it as a parent. Autism intervention is more than my field of expertise, more than my passion. It is my life's obsession.

    I am a stay at home mom to a preschool aged daughter and toddler son. Both of my kids have SPD but one is sensory seeking and the other is sensory avoiding. It can make for some crazy days in our house! I have a blog about our journey with SPD, MERLD, and pediatric feeding and eating disorders. Please visit us at www.littlebabyfields.blogspot.com

    I'm a physically disabled mommy to a neuro-disabled son (Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder and an as-yet-unspecified neuro-muscular disorder), with a background including disability rights/awareness activism, high-level psych education, the teaching of special-needs kids, and knowing just a few too many people with a few too many kinds of psychological disorders. All in all, I've got a lot of bases covered....even if I don't always have the proverbial spoons to write about them coherently! More basic context for my family can be found here: http://unhandicapping.com/about/my-family/

    I have a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education and taught preschool for 6 years. My husband and I decided my talents were best used by me staying home with our son (the added another one). Our oldest son was diagnosed with SPD at the age of 4 in 2010. Two years (off and on) of OT has made a huge difference ;)
  • CaffeinatedAutismMom
    My name is Angela and I live in beautiful Washington State. I'm a stay at home mom and have 2 wonderful boys diagnosed on the autism spectrum. They also have sensory processing disorder and multiple food allergies. If I'm not chasing after my boys or chauffeuring them to therapy, you can typically find me reading, hanging with my friends on Facebook, or making a mess in the kitchen. I run a support group for special needs families and love connecting local families with resources.

    Amy is an art teacher and mother of two boys, Aidan (7) and Rowan (3). Rowan was diagnosed with SPD at age 2 1/2. He has made amazing gains in a year with overcoming a language delay, and with self-regulation through therapy, work at home and the use of social stories. Amy regularly writes in her own blog about her family's experiences with SPD.

    I am new to this! To both Blogging and to the fact that my son has SPD. Well actually all that's new is that it has a name and I have a new direction to follow! So this is about my journey as it just begins, and I hope that someone else will read it and know that they are not alone, and, that it will help me to feel less alone and overwhelmed! I am a stay at home Mommy with a 3yr old boy, JJ who has SPD and is full of beans, and KR who is my 1yr old little girl, sweet,easy and beautiful! But then I am a biased Mommy :)

    I am, among many things, a wife to a loving and often quirky man, a mother to two boys ages three and six who are very loving and quite funny, and I am a Kindergarten teacher. I have been known to sing a bit of Raffi in the car, ocassionally even when there are no children present, but I can also be quite grown up when I have to be. These days I am taking it one day at a time and trying to enjoy every minute for what it is.

    I live in Massachusetts, but dream of Vermont. I am married to a wonderful man who compliments me (opposites attract?). I spend my days juggling life as a Hospice Social Worker and parenting three boys: JD (9, PDD-NOS and ADHD with a definate sensory component who is the most loving child I have ever know), JW (6, my artist and excentric), and AJ (4, the master of cute who can push buttons like a pro). It's exhausting, but I love it.
