New to the group

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I've just joined the group and wanted to introduce myself. I have a

7 year-old daughter who was diagnosed with AS late last winter. We've put

good measures in place to support her (weekly therapy sessions, regular

sessions with an OT, and an IEP with a strong support team at her school).

But I've been very passive about taking care of myself in all of this, and

I'm at the point where I need to start reaching out to other parents and

families with AS in their lives so that I can fully internalize what I know

intellectually--which is that my husband and I are not the only parents in

the world who have a kid with AS, and that while it's a strange new world

for us, things are, in fact, going to be OK (and hopefully even better than

OK). I've also added the OASIS site to my favorites and have started reading

the OASIS guide.

Thanks for being out there! Best regards--
