I hope this page has peaked your interest in these issues. This was quite a confusing journey for our family, so I'm hoping that by sharing our story and experiences, it may help other families who are traveling a similar path. Feel free to post questions or comments if you would like to know more, or if you would like to share your own experiences.
It's amazing how many people are walking the same path as us...and we don't even know it until people start sharing their stories. Please know that you are not in this alone.

My name is Brandy and I am the author of this blog. If you feel comfortable, please share your story here so we can see that we are not alone in this journey.
I'll go first. The people in my immediate family (I am being vague on purpose as they don't want names shared) have been diagnosed with all of the following:
- autism spectrum disorder
- dyslexia
- anxiety
- OCD
- depression
I also suspect that others in my family also have autism and anxiety, but have not been tested.
I myself have been diagnosed with OCD/depression/and anxiety and I have suspicions that I may have some traits of autsim and dyslexia (though not enough to warrant testing).
I hope you are brave enough to share your story as well. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!
