Moms On Autism

Welcome to momsonautism.com!

You most likely landed here because someone you know and love–a son, a daughter, a brother, a sister, a niece, nephew, cousin or friend’s child–has been diagnosed with Autism.

My friend, Lisa, and I are two Moms who have sons with Autism. As parents, we are always reminding ourselves how far Mateo and Darby have come and not to compare them to anyone but themselves. Through it all we have found the positive strength to cope with this frustrating disorder.

Momsonautism.com will be community that shares positive stories about Autism though posts and podcasts that relate our experiences with various therapies, programs and strategies. We welcome contributions and comments about your family and your experiences.

We hope this will be as “therapeutic” for you as it has been for Lisa and me putting it together (with a LOT of help from wonderful friends!).

Written by Myra, mother of 7 1/2 year old Darby.

One of “our moms” forwarded me this site to check out.  It has information about Autism T-shirts you can order.  I think EVERYONE can appreciate some of the sayings!

Also, we would like to thank everyone for being so patient with our podcast situation.  We have several more recorded and ready to go, we just need help from our computer genius to figure out how to launch them correctly.  We haven’t forgotten our mission!  We are trying to become more educated in computers as well as Autism!!

Thank You!!
