Welcome and about us

Hello everyone,
Welcome to our blog! Hopefully we will be able to keep you up to date with where in Tasmania we are and where we will be next. We are on facebook too if you want to become our friend!
ABOUT US:
We are a family of four who are on a very long and life changing journey at the moment. Our 3 year old son has been noticeably different from other children since the age of about 18 months. We have had every possible explanation from various health professionals, but the common element they all agree on is he shows 'autistic tendencies'. We are out there to raise awareness of not only autism, but also these children who don't 'fit' into a particular disorder...'autistic-like' seems to be a common diagnosis among young children. These children don't get the same amount of help that a child diagnosed with autism does, so a lot of it is left up to us as parents.
We are on a mission to trekk the 60 short trekks around Tasmania in the next 12-18 months, culminating in a hike up Cradle Mountain. A lot of people have shown their support through facebook and we look forward to keeping you all up to date.
