I Knew Something Was Different: Just a mother, autism and learning to trust her heart.

By Shauna Murphy

Are you a parent, sibling, grandparent or friend maybe looking for guidance, comfort, or just someone who understands.

I want to share what life is like as the parent of a nonverbal child with autism. The joys, the challenges, the laughter and yes the worries that sometimes keep me awake at night. There's no road map, no perfect way to do this. Every day is different. Every child is different. And yet, in the midst of the uncertainty, there are moments of beauty, strength, and connection that take your breath away.
My hope is simple, if these pages help even one person feel less alone, find a little hope, or see the magic in the small moments, then everything I've written will have been worth it.

So take a deep breath. Grab a cup of tea. Lets walk through this journey together.
One story, one moment, one small victory at a time.
