God has given my family a special assignment. As a mom of a child with autism I am a reluctant member of an elite club; and while there are days that I would rather hand in my membership card, I know that God is working in this for His glory and for my good, and for the good of my family…if we will not shun the process. And through that process I have literally seen the hand of God move on my daughter’s behalf time and time again. We have decided to focus on one symptom at a time; to look for the silver lining instead of the silver bullet. For each autistic symptom she has had we have focused on it, prayed on it, worked on it- and when our understanding ran out, our faith took over… And God continues to do the impossible in her life. I would like to share her story with you: one piece at a time, starting from the very beginning.
