Hernando County

I am the mother of a 14-year old girl with Asperger's Syndrome.  Prior to the Asperger's diagnosis Devin was said to have ADHD, OCD, ODD and Bipolar Disorder.  Through extensive research on the computer I realized she had Asperger's Syndrome.  I begged many doctors to agree with me.  Finally at the age of 9 Dr. Kim Kazamor believed me.  My husband and I cried in her office with relief.

The lack of education and knowledge in the school system and local community about ASD is very frustrating.  With the help of Devin's therapist Diana, and a couple of other moms, I started an Autism support group in Hernando county.  Parents and professionals come together to share resources, ideas and personal stories.  The main goal I had in starting this support group was for parents not to feel alone and isolated.  It is very easy to get stuck in the Autism bubble.  I believe that we have made a difference in many families.  Our group has grown so much in one year.  I look forward to helping more people and educating the community about Autism.
