Hi,
My name is Diana, I am the founder of GLAD (Guidance and Love for our Autistic Dependents) in Madera, CA. I do as much as I can to bring hope, education and support to the families here in Madera. For the past four years I have been able to sponser conferences for area families at no cost. I feel I have been blessed and have had Dr's come and speak to us at no charge. I have one daughter (27) and four boys (22) (14) (13) and (9). I have 1 grand-daughter in heaven and four grand-sons (7) (4) (1) and (2). I have been happily married for 14 years and 12 of them have been with the challenges of autism, and year 15 is this May. We try and do as many family outings as possible. I homeschool Casper, and I am his therapist for everything.

give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

the hurt.

Before I was a Mom -

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important
and happy.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to
make sure all was okay.
I had never known t he warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,
the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
