Autism: Surviving and Thriving

Fourteen years ago my youngest 3 boys were diagnosed with autism within a 9 month span. Devastation and grieving followed. Doctors gave me little or no hope, but they didn't know me very well. I refused to believe that my boys were doomed.

My boys are now young men, adults with autism. They are thriving, but every day presents its turmoil and challenges.

My family: husband Mike, sons Ryan 23 yr, Nicholas 21 yr, and Cameron 18 yr. (Ryan and Nick have autism; Cam has recovered from autism.) Our oldest sons, Michael 34 yr and Stuart 25 yr, moved out of the house. Ryan has also moved out, and is still working towards complete independence.

School Supplies--Free Flash Drive Offer

Ryan came home from school with a list of needed items.  I glance over the list of usual items, but there is an unusual one:  a flash drive.

So I am no tech guru, as my children are.  I am very comfortable living with pen and paper and a rotary phone.  However, my children like the technological advances.  I have always looked at some of these tools as luxury items, but school is now making these tools a necessity.  And these are not cheap when multiple kids are involved.

When a friend of mine posted about this opportunity, I knew I had to pursue it: a free 2GB flash drives from USB Memory Direct.  There is helpful information already loaded on the flash drive, geared to help moms.  The 75 tips cover topics such as school lunches and snacks, homework, and after school activities.

You can find more information here as well as on Facebook and Twitter.

Who couldn't use helpful information AND free school supplies?

By posting this promotion, I am eligible to receive a free flash drive.  I receive no additional compensation.
