I lurked for a long time as well, I'm glad you joined. There's quite a few of us dealing with some health issues for our LOs in the chronic health support board, please feel free to join in on there as well. </p> <p>FYI, if you want people to know you've replied to them, hit the "reply" button next to their post - easier then typing out their name, and then they get an email notification! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2109196 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 11:33:35 +0000 Mrs. Train 2109196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome, I am so glad you posted and put your story out there. I hope you do consider writing a guest post. My oldest son (in kindergarten) is currently going through assessments to see why he is delayed. We will see where it takes us but for now we just have a lot of unanswered questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2109188 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 11:20:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2109188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey there - welcome to HB!</p> <p>Mrs. Twine is a wonderful blogger whose daughter is on the spectrum as well and she has lovely posts.

I knew I loved this place and for a great reason. I appreciate all your responses and suggestions I definitely do feel welcomed. Thank you all so much, I am more in love now than I was before (if that's even possible.) You all made my day, I appreciate you all taking the time to make me feel welcomed. </p> <p>@Lawbee11: I have read the autism series which is why I looked for more. I also read all the other posts related to it but not quite what I expected, nonetheless my love for this place still remains. I appreciate you bringing it up though ;-) </p> <p>@Mrs.Tiger: I feel a little star struck that you and Mrs.High Heels replied since I recently finished reading all of your posts. Both of you are amazing and made my love for this place grow. Mrs. Tiger you are actually the reason I finally decided to sign up. I have been reading for almost a year and finally decided that I just HAD to be in here so I can reply. I read (&amp; cried) reading your post in regards to how people talk to special needs parents and I was nodding my head in agreement the whole time. I knew you were a mom that understood and knew I just had to be in here. Thank you for sharing the journey here, it makes me happy to know that others can read about you ( and your son/family) and feel that they can relate. It's amazing amazing feeling.</p> <p>THANK YOU, thank you, thank you all so much. I truly do appreciate your responses. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108803 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 18:09:41 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2108803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This site is still not huge which is one of the things I really love about it. We have gone through two different experiences with pregnancy and childbirth that were the first on the site. But since my Lo was born at 25 weeks two years ago, there have been two more 25 weekers. So although I felt a little too unique for awhile, eventually I was able to share with others. I'm pretty sure there is at least one person in the special needs group whose daughter is on the spectrum. I think that would be the best place for you to start making connections. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108769 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 17:46:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 2108769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that a guest post would be great! I don't have a child with autism but my sister has Asperger's and I have a cousin on the spectrum, as well as a nephew. I just don't often post about them because, well, they aren't mine ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108765 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 17:44:27 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2108765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for sharing! I think it's good to hear both the pros and cons, and I'm glad you shared honestly in a constructive way! That will only help make the site better. I agree a lot of our kids are still a little too young to know for sure about an autism diagnosis but would you be willing to submit a guest post about your experience? I'd love to read more about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108750 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 17:12:04 +0000 erinpye 2108750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter has sensory issues (mostly sensory-seeking) and some other stuff that makes her different from the norm. While she's not autistic, I can relate to seeking parents who share your experience and support you. I'd love to hear more about your son! I hope you share more here, and that we are able to offer you some support and understanding. Welcome :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108746 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 17:00:19 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2108746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I walled you! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108723 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 16:20:03 +0000 Kimberlybee 2108723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The series that @lawbee11: suggested is an amazing read! You should email the guest blogger because she is such a kind soul and returns emails quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108708 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:53:03 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2108708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi! I have a child with special needs but not autism. There are definitely other SN moms on here :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108700 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:38:24 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2108700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi there! I have a 1.5yo with cerebral palsy, a feeding tube, and other motor/social delays. Quite different from autism, but I think a lot of the parenting struggles may be similar. </p> <p>This community is only as good as we make it :) hope you stay and become a resourse for other moms dealing with autism! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108605 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 13:36:07 +0000 lawbee11 2108605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SuperMomma: Did you search the blog? There's a whole series on raising a child with autism. Glad you decided to post! </p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/guest-series-raising-a-child-with-autism/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/guest-series-raising-a-child-with-autism/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108600 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 13:32:01 +0000 Jess1483 2108600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SuperMomma: my son is only 2, but one of his friends was just evaluated. I don't know the outcome. I just wanted to say welcome and to mention a blog I read called "diary of a mom" that has really changed my perspective on autism. She seems to have created a nice community. Might be with taking a look if you haven't already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108585 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 13:16:56 +0000 Mrs. Airbrush 2108585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You ladies are absolutely right. I had not noticed until right now that the obvious is pointed out to me that all the posts I have read have only gone up to toddler aged children! Hay brain fart moment for sure!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108570 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 13:01:41 +0000 coopsmama 2108570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: That was my first thought, too.</p> <p>That said -- welcome!! So glad you're here and for your perspective! I'd love to hear more of your story sometime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108567 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 12:58:25 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2108567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second @blackbird: the majority of people on the boards have babies/toddlers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108559 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 12:53:33 +0000 blackbird 2108559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's possible that most of us have children too young to be diagnosed yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-limited-hb-posts#post-2108542 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 12:38:55 +0000 Mrs. Airbrush 2108542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been on this site for months but never signed up before. I was so excited to read about everyone's journeys and especially all the Infertility/TTC/Birth Stories that I felt I was finally somewhere I could relate with people that understood. After some time I looked up Autism as my 8 year old has it and was surprised that not many posts came up. I searched special needs and same thing, very limited posts. I felt a little bad to be honest since I love this place so much and wanted to be able to fully 100% relate. I wanted to be able to follow others that are dealing with what we are somewhat dealing with. I wanted to read about others and I wanted to know that I am not alone. I am disappointed but I understand that not many people would share this and I have other blogs for that BUT nonetheless I'm disappointed.<br /> I want others to know that Autism is not as bad as it sounds. Autism is different for every family, for every child but nonetheless it is not all bad. I still hear awful stories about Autism and I just want everyone to know that it is not all awful. There are bad moments but there are also great moments just as with any other diagnosis, just as with any other problem your child might encounter. Just like any typical human you will face the best and the worst. I focus on the best and that's what keeps me going. My son might have delays and problems but he has grown to teach me that we do no fail, we simply are given opportunities to try again. Please know that I understand, I'm in this journey without a map or a guide but in this journey no one is left behind. You're stronger than you think and you CAN DO THIS! Hugs to all the special parents, please know things get better. &lt;3 </p>
