Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for the response....Thinking about what you said, when you're a mom, you just do what you have to do right, I believe I had great intuition and I just followed it.
Thankfully everything just turned out for my child!

Dear Jennifer,

I wanted to welcome you to the Autism One.
By becoming an active participant you can support and inspire others. Your sharing experience can lift other parents to help them move forward on this path. Autism can be challenging and puzzling. You can make a difference; together we can effectively resolve issues in a collaborative manner by addressing questions and providing feedback.
My son Jordan has made remarkable progress so please don’t ever give up hope!
Feel free to share your thoughts, stories and wisdom for we are all in this together.
To quote, Brandi Snyder: “To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.”
Should you need any further assistance or information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi Jennifer
Let me extend to you my personal welcome to our AutismOne Social Network.
First I want to comment about your profile entries. I certainly admire your attitude as expressed in "Why I am part of the community." That's wonderful. Also, noting that you list one of your occupations as "blogger" please feel free to "go at it" on our site. :-) Finally, that is a very nice picture of yourself you've posted.
Now on with the "greeting." AutismOne is now the “one-stop-shopping center” for information about autism. We have the annual conference in Chicago, AutismOne radio, the Elizabeth Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy and now the AutismOne Social Network (and more to come).
Thank you for filling in your profile entries as these help people with common interests find you.
Helping you interact with others is one of the many things we can do for you. Now here’s something you can do for us. Every new community requires a good hard kick start to get going. We need you to help us with that. Log in on a regular basis and read the blogs and articles then write a blog yourself. It can be on any subject of interest to you, preferably with some relevance to autism but not necessarily. It can be short or long, whatever it takes for you to express your thoughts. If you have a question then ask it in a blog--people read then they respond. If you see something with which you agree or disagree then please add a comment with your thoughts. This is an open community designed to help and support. We like to hear all sides.
I am looking forward to reading your opinions in future blogs and/or articles.
With my best regards
Will Price, CFO

A Little About Me: 

I am a married, mother of 2. My 8 year old son was diagnosed with autism in November 2008.

Why I am a Part of the AutismOne Community: 

We don't grieve over our son's autism, but we obviously want to do everything we can to help him. If he never improves beyond what he is today it's fine, but recovery would be fantastic... I think. I don't know what parts of him are autistic and what aren't. Yeah, I'm totally confused.

Right now, I'm interested in the GFCF diet and realistic, economical ways to implement it.

Update: My kid puts his head through sheetrock and seeing all the misinformation about an environmental cause, especially vaccines makes me want to join him. I'd like to learn more about biomedical interventions to recover my son.

Goals: 
To go back to college and not have to think about autism so much.
