Mom, wife, sister, daughter, referee, teacher, shortorder cook and chauffer. I live with my family in California and love all things ocean, food and travel. Our family lives life on the autism spectrum.

'Autsome' is a phrase I started using a few years ago to describe living life on the spectrum with my First Born. It's meant to describe the unique way in which we go through our day. The triumphs, the failures, the tears and the joy, as experienced through our families experiences with him. It's meant to celebrate the differences, the tweeks to the typical, the creative and individuality that goes along with living life on the spectrum.
