When I gave birth to Caitlin, over 17 years ago, it never dawned on me the path I would be on now.

Since then, I have given birth to 5 additional children.  5 of these children happen to be on the Autism Spectrum.  The first born and the last born are the most severely affected.

So, that being said, here I am...Caitlin is 17 and Kiernan is 7...10 years difference.

I am now going through the same behaviors that Caitlin went through 10 YEARS later.....and, guess what...????  I am 10 YEARS OLDER!!!!!

I look at it like this...if I could do it 10 years ago..I can do it now.  My biceps are like that of a body builders.  My calves are like steel.  My abs...okay, I got carried away...sorry.

I am in the best physical shape of my adult life.  Don't ask me about my mental health...that is a different story.
