Welcome to my World!

Hello, My name is Brandi. I am 28 years old from Oregon, and a stay at home mom of 2 crazy boys. Wesley is 6 and he is autistic. He keeps me on my toes, ans and tests my limits daily, but I wouldn't trade him for any normal kid in the world. I love him so much that I am willing to deal with his disability, and also help him to deal with it so that later in life he will be ready to join the real world with the knowledge and confidence that it takes to be successful in life.
Damien is 3, and he also likes to test the waters, and see how far he will get away with things. I do have some concerns with him, and thing he may also be autistic, but I have yet to have him tested at this point.
My husband's name is Karl, and he is my best friend and soul mate. We were best friends before we dated, or got married, and that is why we have been very happily married for 61/2 years!
In this blog, I will of course talk about my children, both good and bad. I may vent on the bad days and brag on the good days, I may even post the occasional recipe that I have found to be favorites of my family and would like to share with yours. And to those parents who also have autistic children, or people who would just like to learn more about it, I will post tidbits about the condition, and maybe helpful ways to deal. I will even post some links that you can follow for more information. Thank you for visiting, and I hope that you enjoy my roller coaster blog. Buckle up it may be a bumpy ride!!

Also I saw on TV that in Florida they are having great success with Autistic children and how they open up when surfing. It's a great thing that you're doin, I also teach a senior exercise class my youngest is 79 years old the oldest is 91 years old. Good Luck in your endeavors. Great job on your blog ;o)
