ANDRA We were fortunate to be blessed with Andra. She has taught us that there are different sides to parenting, especially a child that has been dealing with Broad Spectrum Autism, OCD, Anxiety, JRA, Auditory Processing Issues, Panic Attacks, and Hypersensitivity Disorder.
She has brought us a lot of frustration, but she has brought us so much more joy. There is an innocence about her that I wish would stay forever. This is her story and how we have overcome so much without the assistance of medication. I am not saying I don't believe in medication, I just wanted her to live a life without having to be dependent on them to function. If you have a child with some of the issues she has had, then you will understand and hopefully gain some insight in the fact that, you are not alone
