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.

All By Herself

With Porter at camp all week, that left Alice to go to Montessori all by her self for the first time. I was curious to see how she’d do and it didn’t seem to faze her one bit.

Camp Tuesday

Categories: Photos, Porter — J @ 9:43 am

Porter’s second day of camp went as well as the first, it seemed, possibly better. He at least knew what to expect and seemed altogether eager to be there. His morning building camp instructors all met him at the entrance gate and they told me he did great on Monday.
