A little bit about Trina ... I have a degree in secondary mathematics education, and have worked as a teacher and data programmer. My husband and I have two sons, 9 and 3. I have been very fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom since shortly after the birth of our first son. After our nine year old, James, missed all of the one year old developmental milestones, we began our journey into the world of special needs. James was diagnosed with autism before he turned two. Our amazing journey has been filled with ups and downs, but has taught me more than I could have ever imagined. James is verbal, but like so many parents, I want him to be happy now, but fear his future. Becoming involved with the Autism Society has shown me therapies and opportunities for James that I would not have known about otherwise. Our Coffee, Tea, and Autism group has been such a support in my life. Hearing others’ stories and seeing their smiling, nodding, and encouraging faces have given me even more strength to be James’s primary advocate.
