Contributors My name is Michelle McFarland-McDaniels. I am a writer, a teacher, a wife and a whole bunch of other things...but most importantly, I am mom to two bright and beautiful preteen girls, both of whom have been diagnosed with Autism. Raising our daughters and preparing them to grow up to lead productive, meaningful and fulfilling lives with the greatest degree of independence possible is an adventure. Most of the time my life can be described as running uphill on a treadmill at full speed while juggling and wearing roller skates. Therapy, treatment, equipment and other interventions for our children costs thousands of dollars each year. We have had to become extremely resourceful in order to be able to obtain the therapeutic services and equipment our daughters need. My goal is to help other parents and caregivers of children with Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorders, related disorders and other disabilities find grants and other resources to help their children thrive.
