My name is Shannon and I have a great husband and 2 amazing kids.
My oldest, Wynn, has autism and still struggles, after all these years of treatments and therapies, with anxiety and aggression. At his best, he is funny, intuitive and sensitive.
My daughter, 11 year old Haley, is strong and independent, creative and musical. She has been a shining example for Wynn and taught him many of his first words and skills by sheer example.
Steve is my husband of 19 years and partner in this endeavor to be a family in this crazy world of autism. Out of a need we had to have better communication with Wynn's team members, he created a web application called iAbida.com. It has been a project from his heart, and he makes it available to all families, around the globe, for free.
And me? In spite of being a terrible klutz, I have learned the fine art of juggling....motherhood, advocacy, household management and working from home. Foggyrock is my latest project--to fulfill my own need to be associated with other fantastic folks, like you, who I knew were out there.....Thank you for allowing me into your life through this community.

Wynn: "Mom, why did God give me a mom?"
Mom: "He wanted us to be a team...so He said, 'Here, Wynn, have a mom'."
Wynn: "Then He's my hero."...

gratitude letteres I am trying to remember thank yous all over again
MessageBonnie Sayer just did a nice write up about foggy rock, and my site. I was wondering what we could do to thank her. Maybe do a nice write up about her blogs as a thank you. I am going to do that. Thank you for letting me be apart of this community. I know its tough to keep things like this up. Its worth it because it helps so many. God bless you in all you do.
