The Gift of Autism

People are good. You might not think that if you listen to traditional news, but that's a lie.

It's a heavy one, but I feel that it's important to share this, even though it's hard.I'm sharing my story of losing my seventh baby. Motivation has to go hand in hand with suffering.
