Join the Revolution!

There's a revolution happening right now, across this country, across the globe. A group of parents who have banded together for support, encouragement, and all-out dragon slaying. The dragon in question? AUTISM. This group of moms (and one dad) all have a story to tell - a story of injury and illness, of complete exhaustion and absolute perseverance, of recovery and healing, and above all else, a story of HOPE. These parents have been helping each other navigate the slippery slopes of all things autism for quite some time - sharing research, various therapies and biomedical interventions, diets, supplements, books, medical tests, IEP meetings - I'll bet my list doesn't even scratch the surface. And now, they are sharing their countless hours of research, their vast knowledge, and their collective stories with the world.

One of the Thinking Moms is my very dear friend and mentor. She has helped me through every struggle and pitfall along Aidan's journey of recovery, and celebrated every triumph. She has been my sounding board, my constant inspiration, and the Mama Bear I most admire. And she single-handedly molded me into a true force of nature at the IEP table. I am so excited to share this project, and I can't wait to see what amazing thing comes next! Love ya, Blaze!

Click on the picture above and visit their website. 'Like' them on facebook, and share their blog posts on your wall. Maybe you don't have a child with special needs - but I'll bet you know someone who does. Someone who might need a little support, maybe a little encouragement, or a reminder to NEVER give up HOPE. Viva la Revolution!

The Thinking Moms’ Revolution

What began as a collective journey

Of stories across the globe

From Autism to recovery, and with whatever happens in between

A tight-knit group of parents were drawn to support each other

Traveling the Autism journey

While learning, identifying, laughing, crying, celebrating – experiencing a full spectrum of life and emotions

Creating a Revolution along the way

Not for the weak

Always with hope in sight

We walk together

And invite you to join us to do the same.

Thinking+mom+revolution+heart+autism


Much love,

Allie
