Like so many parents, the day our daughter Cecelia entered the world was the most incredible day of our lives. She was the most beautiful thing we'd ever seen. Life had changed in an amazing way. We had a little girl. Like so many, we left the hospital a little frightened, but full of excitement and ready to start our new lives. In June of 2007, 2 months after her 2nd birthday, Cecelia was formally diagnosed with Autism.
