Our Autism Journey started in 2005 when Owen our oldest son was diagnosed with autism. Since his diagnosis we have tried many interventions and therapies but have never lost HOPE that one day Owen will live a independent purposeful fulfilling life. In the early days of living in Dubai, we found most people in didn’t like to talk about autism or how if effects their lives. To spread awareness and to encourage others to speak up, we starting sharing our life with autism in Dubai through this page. From the page I started a support group in Dubai which I still manage today. Now we are back in the USA and we are navigating our way through school and services in the USA. We believe the more we talk about Autism the more people will understand and accept my son and others who have different abilities for the amazing humans they are. We share the the good, bad and the never talked about so don't expect all of our stories to be filled with hopes and dreams for the future. If you have a concern or question you would like us to discuss please don't hesitate to send us a message, we will keep your identity confidential if you prefer. Disclaimer: We are not autism experts on a clinical level, we are parents and only sharing our parenting knowledge and what we have learned over the years.

This guy has come a long way from when he first stepped into a gym a couple of years ago.

He has expressed on more than one occasion how much exercise has helped him gain control of his body and how much he enjoys it.
