April 2nd is World Autism Day. This day aims to put a spotlight on hurdles that individuals with Autism and others living with Autism face every day. Although, I may be a therapist at Bayridge, I am also a parent of a child with Special Needs. Parents, I understand, not because of my training in my field, but because I live those hurdles daily- along with you.
I understand the exhaustion of having to constantly think outside the box so our children can cope in new or difficult environments. I understand the strength needed to advocate for services or tools to have their needs met. I know the struggles associated with lack of funding for respite and the lack of available respite. I know the comfort of a support circle of people that truly understand the hurdles our families endure.
