Autism Lighthouse is a website dedicated to helping individuals and families affected by autism. We provide parenting tips, homeopathic remedies, gluten free recipes, poems written by a child with autism, therapy ideas, links to autism apps and inspirational stories. It also shares the experiences of raising our son, Scott, who could not talk until he was 6 years old and at one point was told that he would be institutionalized. Despite his disability, Scott continues to be an inspiration to many in our community, having been named "Most Valuable Runner" on his college cross-country team back in 2008. Also, he was the first autistic runner to be named "Academic All-American" at the community college level.
