Whitney Walker

Whitney Walker is just an overly sarcastic wife, mom, & teacher walking on sunshine and running on Mt. Dew. When her son was diagnosed with severe autism nearly a decade ago, she became engrossed in the world of autism. She began writing in college while working on her English degree at Florida State University, but didn't start sharing her work until many years later when writing about her son. In 2020, she started a blog to share the triumphs and struggles of their everyday lives. What started as cute anecdotes about her son soon shifted to her own story about the realities of being an autism parent. She felt pulled to share that there isn’t always an obvious bright side. Sometimes as special needs parents we must accept that there are many cloudy days and it’s ok to talk about the darkness too.
