I am first and foremost a mum. My son is the reason I breath. He's taught me so very much in the time that I've been blessed to have him. He was born with autism. Life has so very many special moments and of course, like all families, some tough ones too. It was because of my son I decided to go public with my writing. The costs of therapies is staggering and many who follow this journey scrimp by every day. As an Australian, I consider myself very lucky for the help we've received so far but now because of his age, the help dwindles to next to nothing. My hope is that my writing will help even just a little bit.
