Welcome!

Hi and welcome to the Asperger’s and Fries podcast. I’m Rachel and just like all of you I am the parent of a child with Asperger’s. Regardless of age or whether it’s a boy or girl we all need support, we all need help and we all need inspiration to get through the day.

Not all children with Asperger’s are the same but one thing remains true for all parents, whether the child has autism or not “We are the silent army for our children. We are the unsung heroes who may never get public recognition but continue to fight the good fight for our kids” (The Jenny Evolution).  While we are the army for our kids, we often feel like we fight that battle alone or with our spouses but know you are not alone in the struggle.

I know when my son was first diagnosed I looked for a local support group so that I could maybe find other parents to help me understand more and deal with the emotional side of it but there was nothing within 30+ miles of me. I did find support in teachers, family and in online resources but sometimes you want someone to hold your hand and to hear a voice tell you “I know it’s hard but you can do this” and this leads me to another quote I love which is “Sometimes those who challenge you most teach you best” (Anonymous). I hope with this blog I can help you through the challenges.

If you aren’t already following the blog please do so, also follow me on Facebook or email me directly.
