Description
A writer from New Jersey, Stacie was in her early 30s when she found herself divorced and raising her two special-needs kids alone. She turned to writing as therapy. Her story is told through blog posts over the course of several years. The narrative begins with the joyful birth of Stacie's two children and follows their growth and development as typically developing infants, until the author's realization that her son and then her daughter were experiencing diverse symptoms of autism. The author describes the emotional turmoil of witnessing their struggle. Despite the author's pursuit of solutions, she acknowledges the absence of a cure for autism and the multitude of interventions tried with varying degrees of success. Throughout the narrative, the author provides candid insights into the day-to-day realities of caring for children with autism, including self-harm, sleep issues, nervous habits, and challenges with communication. Additionally, the author candidly addresses her own struggle with anxiety and self-care. The author's emotional journey is interwoven with reflections on her own experiences, including the loss of her mother at a young age, her evolving perspective on motherhood, and her personal growth as she navigates the complexities of relationships, grief, and self-discovery.
