Audra’s Story
My name is Audra (Momma Employee) and I have a son (The Boss). The blog, is Our Life with Autism. We are both autistic and have epilepsy! We are both trying to navigate this complex world, together. He runs my schedule and we experience love and life as one family. Our journey comes with ups and downs, but we would not have it any other way. Welcome to our crazy, funny, weird, socially awkward, introverted, anxiety-ridden, happy, joyful page!
