Hello. My name is Brittani but I am best known as {insert child name}'s mom. I have a 12-year-old girl who has a heart of gold but everything else is made of drama. Her passion is lacrosse and she shaved her head {bald} when she was 10 for pediatric cancer research. My 10-year-old son has a purple mohawk and a smile that will melt your heart. I am going to have to beat the ladies off with a stick. He plays travel basketball, travel baseball, and football. His sports kill my social life. And the boy that completed our family, my 6-year-old son. He has classic autism and just started talking about a year ago. He has opened the eyes (and hearts) of our family and everyone he encounters. He loves his iPad, painting, play-doh, and dinosaurs. He may not be able to tell you how old he is but he can name every dinosaur. He amazes me everyday.

When I am not doing my schoolwork, my kids' schoolwork, cleaning the house, chauffeuring kids to sports, dealing with therapists/doctors/insurance companies/schools, spending time with friends, consultant work for my previous employer, and anything else that's thrown my way, I am advocating for autism awareness. You would be amazed at what there still is to learn. I have included a link to Autism Speak's website - please take a minute to learn something new. Autism Speaks. It's time to listen.

~My life is chaotic and stressful but it is full of love and I wouldn't change a thing.~
