Hello parents, loved ones, and caregivers. Thank you for taking the time to explore Let's Talk About It- The Autism Center. I hope you find this community beneficial as you care for your loved one on the autism spectrum, and I hope we inspire you to also practice self-care. Take care of yourself because you will be your child's biggest cheerleader and advocate.

As the mother of an adult son with autism, I know the challenges that accompany a diagnosis, but I also know the power of determination, and not just that of the caregiver, but the individual on the spectrum as well. My son was diagnosed at the age of 3 with severe autism. Now, an adult, he is diagnosed with high functioning autism. This is because he was encouraged to do and be his best.
 
When it comes to a diagnosis of autism, do not be discouraged, be intentional. Every small step is a success and there is so much success ahead of you.

Welcome to the family,

Becky
