stevej's Bio
 

I'm a husband to my spirited wife Shannon, father of two children, my inspirational son Wynn and great daughter Haley.  Wynn is now 13 with autism. He has been the driver for my wife and I to push for better ways to track behaviors, journal his days and find what other things can help him. www.iabida.com is very helpful in the day-to-day team management for my son - and www.foggyrock.com is my community.

My son has been a fighter through all of this, which can make it difficult at times, but also helps me hope his fierce desire will protect him. My daughter is 12 and has been a tremendous help for her brother and his biggest cheerleader. Foggyrock is hopefully a big help for everyone to network better, make new friends, find new information and improve our collective understanding.

Welcome and thanks!
