The Beginning
Welcome to my website
which I am building for my beautiful daughter Debbie. I would
imagine you are visiting here as you either know, or know of, an
autistic person. How do I know that?, well because I have found that
only such people, have actually heard about Autism.
I had never
heard of Autism, until my daughter Debbie was diagnosed Autistic,
nearly 4 years ago. She is now 17, and the only reason that she was
diagnosed, was due to the fact, that 4 years ago, she started
suffering Post-Traumatic-Stress-Syndrome too. Up until then she had
been diagnosed with 'learning difficulties' among others.
I would
like to tell you some of our story, but my main aim for this
website, is to let people KNOW about Autism, if you went through the
pain most parents of autistic children go through, let alone having
people look at your child like they are some sort of 'monster',
(because they do not 'act' like a child is 'supposed to' in our
society), then you would not be one of the people who are
looking!!
I am not an over-anxious, or bitter woman, I would just
really like, just once in a while, for someone to say..."oh, yes I
know about autism", instead of the usual...."whats Autism?" And if
enough people talk about autism it may well just
happen!!
My Aims
Ok, I'm just a mum, with a very
special Autistic child. But if you are reading this, then you are
one more person who will know about Autism, and that will help me
feel, that I have helped in my own way, for the fight for
autism-awareness.
What you can
expect
As I stated, I will tell you about
Debbie, my beautiful daughter. I am also hoping to be able to put
everything I can find about Autism on the 'net', here on my site.
Not just to see how much information there is on here, but also, if
as a mother, they can answer my questions about Autism. If I find
sites helpful, informative, or find other pages like mine, I will
add them on to my site so you can see for yourselves! With any luck,
we can all learn about autism, together. I myself am still very new
to this, so I would like to share what I have found and learnt with
you.
Thank You so very
much for this awardxx
