As a mother of a brilliant and joyful 10-year-old son, Jason Paul, on the autism spectrum, my connection to autism is deeply personal and transformative.
When he was diagnosed at two, it hit me like a storm of emotions—fear, self-blame, and uncertainty. I immediately sought out answers, diving into research and reaching out to professionals for guidance on the best therapies, like speech and occupational therapy. Most importantly, I made sure he had a strong support system of family and friends who provided unwavering love.
