  • Personal Autism Blog

  • Welcome to the personal autism blog at Autism Epicenter. This is a digital online diary (and more) written directly by parents of children with ASD as we deal with the triumphs and challenges of raising children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Two people post here, both parents of different families, both dealing with autism.

    With this blog you are gaining access into a whole new world. If you're parenting a child with ASD yourself, then you can relate. If you're not, maybe this will help you gain an understanding of what parents go through. Either way, welcome to our world!
