If you look

Currently I am a pre-service teacher and the mother of a two year old girl and four year old boy who has been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism.  I intend this blog to be a portfolio of special needs resources that can be used by both parents and teachers alike.


My son was diagnosed about two years ago, and although we got on to intervention early I have found that there are not enough practical resources.  So, in light of this, I intend for this to be a meeting place of sorts, a support network of links that can help you through the diagnosis tunnel, advocate for your child and better prepare teachers for the classroom.  I don't expect it to be the answer for everyone, but hopefully it can help.


The title of this blog comes from a line in the song Time after time sung by Cyndi Lauper that she co-wrote with Rob Hyman.  I've found that the words have resonated with me and goes in some way to describe my feelings parenting my son and indeed both my children.
