What is it like being an autism mom? The ups, the downs, and the emotional struggle.

You are not just a mom. You are becoming a teacher, therapist, rights activist, layer, doctor, friend, maid etc. The sad part about it is that you do not want to be all of these things at once, you just want to be a mom, but the current system and people's mindsets will not let you do that. So you take what life throws at you and just try to make it a little bit better because you care.

What fears do you face as you raise your child?

Ignorance and stupidity.

Do you have other autism mommies who have inspired you?

Son rise program first mom.
