I have been diagnosed for about 6 months, but searching for answers for over a year. I’m 35, with 3 kids. One is diagnosed with High function autism, and the other two with ADD (they come by it honestly!) Being involved in the children’s ministry at my church has been a major source of comfort and, if it makes sense, distraction! Thank you for your story. It helps us that haven’t shared get the courage to do so.

I was so encouraged to read your profile. I, too am a Christian and was struck with RA the last week of August (2011), officially dx beginning of Oct. I am 41, and have 4 kids, 2 with ADHD/autism, twins, and a baby girl 6 months old!!! I can so relate to your story. My parents are both from Ohio as well

Thank you for sharing your ra story with us.
