Creating this interview really hit home for me. Owen, a child with autism is about my son's age and is the son of a dear friend whom I've known for years. Owen's mother, Liz has gone through many uphill battles dealing with her son's condition while trying to balance life at home, a dream for better education and raising her two children on her own.
This is her personal story about what she has gone through to get this far...

Liz thank you so much for sharing your story with my readers, it means a great deal to me personally as a friend and a father! Your strength is unparalleled and your courage is inspiring, please never change either. I hope that readers will have a better understanding of what it takes to not only raise a child, but to deal with autism as well.
Liz: "No, thank you for allowing me to tell my story! If this just helps one person to not feel so alone with their struggles, well that’s all I could ask for. Regardless of who our children are or what battles they must endure, they are our children and we love them and fight for them just as much as any other parent would. We all play the hand we’re dealt with the best ways we can. Life situations like these are made easier by having family and friends like you for support!"
