Welcome to my blog, I'm Ashley! I am 20 years old and was diagnosed at an early age with Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), which is on the autism spectrum. However, I don't let my autism define me. I am also a sister, a friend, a daughter and an advocate. My goal is to raise awareness, gain acceptance and obtain universal respect for ALL those with special needs. 

I have had quite the journey through my 20 years thus far with many trials and tribulations as well as some AMAZING accomplishments. This is my story, my thoughts and my journey and I can't wait to share it with you!
