Autism Kids

 

Autism Spectrum Disorder affects many kids, and it was not in my plans as a mother. As a special needs mom with a son who has autism, the journey of raising him is challenging to say the least. Through our journey, Autism Kids on Inspired Housewife shares my experiences with autism. I also share therapies, great sensory activities , quotes about special needs kids, and more to create greater awareness.

Positivity in a Jar

Positivity in a Jar by Amee of Inspired Housewife

I saw a photo floating around Facebook last week where people write down the positives in their lives and put them away in a mason canning jar.  These notes are then read at the end of the year.  I loved the idea, but I decided I wanted to do a “kid friendly” version. Teaching my…

Social Stories

Autism is very near and dear to my heart.  Some of you already know my five year old son Tristan was given the diagnosis of PDD-NOS right after his third birthday.  Even before the autism diagnosis we went through many hurdles medically and physically.  My son’s diagnosis does not define him or who he is as…
