Autism and Disabilities Functioning

Jessica here

Hey y’all.  I’m Jessica, one of the administrators for our blog.  I am Tammy’s niece.  Tammy raised me from the time I was 5 years old so you may see me refer to her as mom.  I am #actuallyautistic.  I do not only bring the perspective of someone who is #actuallyautistic, I was raised in our home where others had autism and other disabilities.  I was a paraprofessional for two years working with students with autism and other disabilities, I have also worked with the elderly.  I am currently a single mom, attending college, and work providing home care to adults with disabilities.  It is my goal to bring the perspective of someone who is #actuallyautistic to the work that we are doing, as well as the perspective of someone who has helped care for other people with disabilities.
