Our faith has given us a common hope. We are different \u2013 black, white, male, female \u2013 but we all have children with autism.These are our stories:\u00a0our struggles, our failures and triumphs, our parenting, our faith and a bit of everything in between. Along the way we realized we are not alone. Our lives, though not the ones we imagined, have given us new purpose and meaning. Our children have something unique and beautiful to offer the world. And to us.<\/p>\nHosts & Guests<\/span><\/h4>\n
