Hi, I am a married, mother of three and came to my knowledge of my own autism only a handful of years ago after a lifetime of wondering why I felt so painfully different and through doing research for support for my children. I am a nature lover, mindfulness meditation practitioner and a writer//artist. I have had work published on The Art of Autism as well as in local publications and on my own blog Prattle and Ponder. I am grateful for the learning, support and sense of community that a site like this provides fellow autistic Islanders.
