KimmyC’s Profile

Close Autism / Autism Spectrum

My daughter was diagnosed at 27mos. she entered early childhood ed. at 3yrs. Being in the dark on what to do, I allowed the school district to make what they said were decisions in her best interest (what was easiest & most cost effective). After years of networking I became connected w/the most wonderful collection of people who have changed our lives for the better and Allison's future looks so hopeful. I never thought I would be able to say that. Still many battles to fight and work to do.
