Hi
I would like to introduce myself, my name is Emma and I am a forty something Mother of a 13 year old boy called Zachary. Zach has severe autism and challenging behaviour he was also diagnosed with Epilepsy last year.
As well as being Mum to Zach I am wife to John who is a forty something Engineer who works very hard and is also a very good track cyclist who has won numerous medals at National level and last year added International medals to his tally.
In my previous life I was a senior nurse in a busy Accident Department but I am now a more sedate community nurse working just two evenings a week, trying to balance my life a little and remind myself we are not the only one's having a tough time.
Why do I want/need a blog? I am hoping that it will be cathartic for me to write down and hopefully share some of the experiences that I as a parent have, and also tell you about things that happen to Zach both good and bad. Please read it and feel free to comment too.
Emma.
