Lynn Vigo

Lynn Vigo, Autism Mother, Licensed Social Worker


"There's a steep learning curve with autism and we learn as we go along so we build on our success and as well as our mistakes. Not to worry-I have faith that in the school of life, parents get graded on the curve. Keep trying, keep learning, keep asking for help (Lynn Vigo, Seattle Children's Hospital Autism Blog, Ten "Mistakes" This Parent of a Kid With Autism Has Made Over the Years, November 13, 2014)."
