I know it's been a few months since my last blog entry but I had a lot going on. I had a full load of classes to complete by March 5th and they were a lot of work. Somehow, I always find myself having to take one class or another either for work or, as part of my doctoral studies. This time, it was for work but just because I'm not blogging doesn't mean I'm not thinking about blogging or things I should be, could be blogging about. My mind never stops or maybe it does a little when I sleep but yes, I'm always thinking of one thing or another. And guess what's been on my mind lately? Yep, autism. Actually, autism is always on my mind but let's leave that for another day and go back to the topic at hand now.
April is Autism Awareness month. To that effect, I posted some thoughts on the topic and shared some information about what autism is like in my house on social media. If you go to my Facebook author's page, Rebecca N Carmant author, or my IG feed under the same name, you can see a series of posts that I started posting on March 30th. This is the second year I'm doing this, that I'm opening the door into my private life, if only a little, to help people understand what exactly autism means for the people and families who are living with it.
If that one day, April 2nd and, that one month, April can bring more awareness, understanding and acceptance of a condition that affects so many of us, across all types of barriers and walks of life, I'll do my part. I'll show and share what it's like in our family.

I will now share these posts on this blog as well because it's important. As prevalent as autism is, it is still not getting the positive support that people think it does. That's why parents like me are out there talking about it, to raise awareness and promote acceptance of individuals with the condition.
