Dear Big Ability Subscriber,
This is a letter of gratitude.
My first post to the Big Abilities blog was in September of 2018. Putting our family’s story out there was scary. But it was also cathartic. It was a way to make something concrete that felt very abstract. Autism was new to us back then.
I also thought maybe, just maybe one of our family’s experiences would help another family. Maybe sharing a resource that helped my son could help someone else’s child.
So here we are, five years later. I wanted to share some Big Abilities statistics with you. Statistics you helped create!
Top Statistics
- Big Abilities has had 112,000 views.
- A post during the height of COVID before vaccines Helping My Son Autistic Son Move Beyond a Saliva Obsession helped nearly 3000 readers.
- Readers have shared Big Abilities posts to Twitter more than 4,000 times.
Book Deals
The Big Abilities platform has led to two book deals.

I’ve been able to help families through my 1:1 Caregiver Coaching program.
Being a Part of Your Support System
Even if we’ve never interacted on social media or chatted on the phone (which why haven’t we!) I’m honored that Big Abilities is a part of your support system. I hope the words you read at Big Abilities give you the warm hug that knowing you read them gives me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
