THE SPECTRUM SPECTACLE: I am a former nurse-turned mom. I morphed into a bunch of other things as moms do when Autism enters your life. I have four children with the following diagnosis: M: Girl age 18, PDD-NOS mood disorder. H: Boy age 14, PDD-NOS, ADHD, Anxiety, and Seizure Disorder. M: Boy age 13, PDD-NOS, Mood disorder, Anxiety Disorder. R: Boy age 10, Autism, non-verbal, Seizure Disorder and chronic GI pain unknown. Husband: PDD-NOS characterized by higher order integrative agnosia, Mood disorder, depression, anxiety, specific phobias, OCPD. Me: Dysthymia, (double depression) and Anxiety. Sounds like a mess doesn't? Sit a spell, if you'd like. We're not contagious.
