Mama Fry’s Story:
Mama Fry is a suburban stay at home mom. Mama Fry worked as an educator for 9 years with children on the Autism spectrum in a group home and in schools. Now that she has her own kiddo with autism, she has gone “Pro.”
Her blog tells the story of how a professional educator goes from working with children with autism to living with a child with autism – and it’s vastly different.
Mama Fry was invited to write a blog post about a day in her life caring for her child with autism for her local New Jersey radio station. To her surprise, the blog post went viral and since then Mama Fry writes regularly on her blog, Autism with a Side of Fries, to her worldwide community.
