About Ethan

Ethan is our only child, and he is our everything. When he was 2 years old (34 months), he was diagnosed with classic Autism. His official diagnosis is, "Autism with Receptive/Expressive Language Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, Fine Motor Delay and Feeding Concerns." The good news was that he is considered "high-functioning". We have been able to implement strategies that have helped Ethan live a pretty typical life among our large extended family, close church family, and carefully planned & thought out community events. However, now that Ethan is 3 years old, new challenges have come our way....potty training, birthday parties, and soon...starting school. It is my hope that this blog will help me connect to other families living with autism, learn more about how we can help Ethan, and provide free therapy for me. :0)
