Hello, my name is Bridgett and I have three wonderful children, Zachary 8, Austin 5, and Kaylee 3. Austin is our child with autism spectrum. He was diagnosed a year ago this month. I always new he was different, but wow, when they diagnose your child, it is a shock. 

He has been going to a special preeschool for three years in Miami County and he has made such progress . I am so proud of him.  I am just starting to worry because he will be going to kindergarden next year.  Is he ready, will he adapt, are they ready for him? He has been getting speech therapy and OT from school and also he goes to childrens for speech.  We attended one of Zach's Christmas programs the other night and Austin was starting to get over stimulated. We were trying so hard to reassure him and my brother came and he was fine.  Isn't that funny! I wish we had special schools for our little people when they enter grade school. I just don't want him to get lost in the shuffle or to get made fun of because kids can be cruel. I know things will work out. I am just a worry wart. I know it is all in God's hands and we will just have to pray for all our children
