About Me

My photo
Spectrum Mom
I'm the mother of two boys. My older son was diagnosed with Autism (PDD-NOS) at age two. Reading is a huge big happy place for me. But I couldn't find a blog that regularly gives book recommendations for kids on the spectrum, so I created this one. This is now mostly an archive of past posts kept online as a resource for you. I welcome on topic guest posts and reviews from kids, parents, educators, librarians . . .
