About Us

Welcome to the Brookston family blog. We'll post updates here on what's going on in our part of the world, and especially with our son, Porter, who has been diagnosed with some form of autism. Our hope is that this blog will help us deal with all the issues we'll be facing and keep our friends and family informed as well.

He’s gotten the correlation between the medicine and his ear feeling better which is huge for us. That he’s now able to tell us when he’s hurting is a great leap forward for Porter, and us.
