Hi my name is Tina I have a 13yr old son who has Autism,(Aspergers) as i've been told he is not the typical autistic child so its been very very difficult to get him services. I am also new to this site so its nice to see a group like this.

How can I help? We have a few simple tools you can use to benefit financially as well as personally.

If you are in the vicinity of a large city, have you considered forming or finding a group via www.meetup.com for support for your specific need? I'll be glad to sponsor any such group, when i am able to do so.

I used to work in the health care field in geriatric and special needs care. I learned that if a family is trying to go it alone without a break periodically that this can impact the type of care your loved one receives and impact your own health as well. It makes sense to find or form a support group of people you can trust and who know the best way to help. Don't go it alone.

Sorry if I may seem as if I don't know what I am doing with this group. I searched through groups on this site looking for friends in similar situation as me. I couldn't find a special need parent group, and so I created one. You all are in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope that something could benefit someone from this group. God bless.

My special needs daughter is now 17 years old. She is so joyful, hopeful and faithful. She loves Jesus and she knows she would be nothing without Him. She has sensory integration dysfunction which mostly effects her ability to read. She is going into 11th grade and has a 3rd grade reading ability. Pray for Toria as we moved this summer and she will be attending a different high school.

Hello. Just a quick introduction. I'm a blessed mother to a beautiful 23 y/o woman who was born with spina bifida and is a paraplegic as a result. God has been so good to our family and Rachel my daughter is a wonderful young woman who surely knows how to use a pair of wheels! Glad to be here.

Hey TIFFANY....thank you for your heart for the special needs. I, do not have special needs children, friends, family....but I wanted you to know that you have my support!

I'd love to introduce myself. My name is Tiffany, and I am a parent of a son with special needs. Many things are a challenge both for him and for me. I'd love to share and even learn from others with this group.
