Ainiie ( Hi ) in Ojibwe Everyone,

I am 47 years young, single Mom Native American Indian, I have been raising my son Joshua, who will be 21 years old in October, he has Aspergers Syndrome ( Autism ) along with Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome ( Heart problem ) I am proud of how far I have been able to bring my son along, he graduated from high school with a regular education diploma, he is now in his 3rd year of college. My life has been blessed in many ways, but not with out a struggle. I have severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, I take alot of medications, and live with chronic pain. This past June we lost our home to a fire. This was the only place Joshua ever knew as home as he had been there since he was 6 months old. Wow that was a difficult transition for my Aspergers boy. You know Autistic people like structure.  We are still living in a hotel for now, our home was demolished about a month ago. It is difficult times, but I'm sure things will get better. I am active in my culture, and I am a womens traditional dancer, I spend alot of time at POW WOW, I make my own regalia, and I also make dream catchers. I am spiritual, and a very caring and giving person.  for all Moms with Autistic children, God Blessed You, because he knew you could handle it. Jean
