I was actually. It started with a group of friends and it slowly started to become more and more popular. The crazy part was that it was family oriented. All of us became so close and this forum ended up being more than just a forum.
I think 2007, when I went through my divorce. It was the hardest year of my life and this place got me through it. Between finding out my son had autism, to feeling pretty much alone, to discovering who I was as a person.
Ive come a long way. Austin is now 22 (23 in June). He was extremely violent as he got older (he broke zks ribs) and would punch me when he had a tandrum. As he was getting bigger, it was harder and harder controlling him and ensuring he was safe. In Sept 2020, I had to make the hardest decision of my life... BUT, it was his idea and choice. He wanted to move to a place where he could make friends. So I found a place that he was able to move to and it was a great decision because he is truly happy. He still has issues, but hes got friends and still has me nearby incase he needs me. I have 2 more boys who are not autistic, but are doing well.
I am definitely in a much better place than I was in 2007. But I think that is because you have to go through tough times to be grateful for what you have and to come out stronger on the other side.
(that was prob too much info)
…no, that was just a perfect and lovely amount of information…I’m glad that your son…(and all of your children…)…are doing well and that he feels that he has his independence and own identity, while having you nearby also…and I’m glad that your own life is in a good place right now…it’s never too much to share such joys…Ive come a long way.

What is your favorite sport?
Hmm.. Right now its soccer. (since my youngest plays).. I am sad to say that I usually dont have too much time for sports.
I have totally forgotten about this.... LOL Have I been cheating on you?

Thank you. My boys are pretty much my life.…no, that was just a perfect and lovely amount of information…I’m glad that your son…(and all of your children…)…are doing well and that he feels that he has his independence and own identity, while having you nearby also…and I’m glad that your own life is in a good place right now…it’s never too much to share such joys…
They keep me sane (even if they are who drive me insane the most ).My favorite show! Have you seen House of The Dragon yet?
I suspected so...you are forgiven.I have totally forgotten about this.... LOL Have I been cheating on you?
Even with that last season? :O
But yes, it was an excellent show.
Which user from old OTz you wish could come back who hasn't yet?
Wow that was a lot but I like your never giving up spirit. At least it made you stronger and are you in better place. Kudos for all you did to help your son . You did an amazing job with that.Ive come a long way. Austin is now 22 (23 in June). He was extremely violent as he got older (he broke zks ribs) and would punch me when he had a tandrum.
