Hi Grace --
This post gave me an idea. I have a friend and fellow Cub Scout Den mom whose son (one of twins) is autistic. I may ask her to guest post on my blog about her experiences raising Elijah during April. She's mom to three others, and has another on the way.
I am looking forward to your posts!
I hope it raises a lot of awarness
