Welcome to MyAutismStory.com

If you have a child with autism, our road to diagnosis may seem unique. Some of the symptoms that we observed may mimic some of the things that caused you pause with your own child. If you do not have a diagnosis, but some of the characteristics below sound familiar, I recommend you begin the testing process for your child. Whether your child has a speech delay, is simply missing milestones, or does have autism, early diagnosis is the surest way to get your child the help he/she needs in order to overcome these delays.

As the eldest child (if you understand anything about birth order, or are an eldest child yourself, you understand where I'm coming from), I was never satisfied with what I did in life. I strove for perfection and aimed to please my parents. So, when I gave birth to my first child, I vowed to be the perfect parent. Of course, nothing less than perfection would do from MY child. My husband and I have very high I.Q.s and before my maternity leave was over, I already had his 529 plan set up and a short list of the only universities he should consider for college!

Now, some things may seem odd. But remember, this is my first child, so I have nothing to compare to. No point of reference. Only those charming baby books-of which I had tons-"How to teach your baby math", "How to teach your baby to read", etc. MY son would be speaking four languages before he started kindergarten!Look here for an example of how the print layout looks, or print this page to see it in reality.

The menubar

The main navigation menu is an unsorted list, where each list item has been styled to be a button. There are lots of ways to style lists for navigation, but I've kept things simple for this layout. Adding "that little extra" is up to you!

If you like this layout and would like to use it in any way, you are free to do so. This is an open source web design, and all I ask for is that you leave the "Design by Andreas Viklund" link in the footer of the site. If you would like to remove that line, or if you would like professional help with anything related to this layout (such as custom design, branding, scripting or programming), please contact me through OSWD.org or through my website for more information.

Good luck with your new website!
