I am a mother of a special needs child who has Asperger's syndrome ( high functioning autism). I have taken classes to educate myself on how to deal with children, especially my own daughter, with autism disorders. My family and I attend seminars and conferences in order to gain support but also to educate ourselves of the ever changing needs of children with Asperger's and autism disorders. My now 18 yr old daughter is doing very well and is attending Rider University, because we are very proactive in gaining knowledge about how to care for her and others with special needs she has been able to flourish and grow into a beautiful young woman. I have also dealt with other peoples children with special needs and enjoy helping children learn and to build their confidence so they to can grow and have wonderful lives.
