| A little about me: | Hi everyone. Call me Mama Bear. I'm a 44-year-old single mom living in New York City. My son Baby Bear is 10 years old and was diagnosed with sensory integration dysfunction at age 3 and autism spectrum disorder at age 9. Thank God he is relatively high-functioning--always been mainstreamed, excellent grades, does well with karate, bowling, and swimming. He has just started a social skills class at our local autism support center and is doing well there, too. Despite all this seemingly good news, I have so many issues to bring to you good people that I hardly know where to start. I look forward to sharing with other parents out there who are dealing with the challenges of autism. |

First day on the Forum--both glad and scared
