This in Brandy, Rowan’s mom. I started this blog for myself & for him, and anyone else who might be interested in hearing Rowans story. A lot of this is about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ADS), a neurological disorder that recent statistic measure that 1 in every 150 children are diagnosed with. But mostly this is a frame of reference in one place form me to see where we have come from and try to see where we are going. I have blogged other places about our life, but here I am going to attempt to start from the beginning and tell what I remember of his story. Please bare with me if I am going slow at telling the story, sometime it’s painfull to remember how blind I was to the problems we were having.  When it gets too hard to write I have to take a break and come back to it after a week or two.
