Samantha Therese was born on January 30, 2001. On April 20, 2004 Samantha was diagnosed with Autism/Echolalia. Although her conditions aren't life threatening, they will still continue to affect her and our family. I've created this page to keep family members and friends (even strangers) updated as regularly as possible on events in Samantha's life.




Autism Awareness






Public Autism Awareness

My child has autism
She is not being naughty and we are not
being bad parents for not reprimanding her.
Children with autism can often behave in an
unpredictable manner, because they find it hard
to cope with many everyday situations.
They are quite simply doing their best.
Please be patient.
