About the Book

I have been a Developmental Support worker since I left College; I have worked with every part of individual with a developmental delay, including Autism, Down Syndrome, FASD etc. Never in a million years would I ever think I would take work home with me, ever. Education laced with experience can lead you to believe you might be ready to raise a child with special needs, but it's a lie. Nothing prepares you for the journey your life is going to be taken on, and our family can tell you this first hand, as I have 2 children with Moderate-Severe Autism. Life as you know it changes. Relationships, friendships, family, expectations, all affected. Raising a child with Autism is more and more prevalent, as now statistics in Canada are 1 in 88 children will have Autism this year alone. Parents experiencing a new(er) diagnosis go through a process that I myself went through. You mourn the loss of the child you thought you were going to have, and then you look up after all the tears are wiped away and you say, "now what." There is no, "hey, welcome to Autism parents! Here is the list of people to call, places to go, waitlists to go on GO!." So when I was searching, crying, screaming, laughing, and focused, I knew I needed an outlet to write all Owen and Ben's, plus our marriage, and our families experiences down, not only for myself to release the feelings, but also to be a tool for other parents to learn from - what to do, and what not to do. Owenandbensjourney.blogspot.ca was born, and readers as close as next door and as far as the United Kingdom has shared in our therapies, our appointments, our fights with the schools, our "will it EVER get here" wait on the Ontario Government Funded waitlist, our seminars, our education, our travels, everything - and while it has been a much needed outlet for one busy mom, it has helped hundreds of parents ungraciously welcoming a new Autism diagnosis into their lives, asking, "where the hell do I go now."

About the Author :
Vanessa Coens is a leading Autism Advocate, speaking to local Colleges, Highschools and Elementary schools about the journey that her 2 sons with Classic Autism have been on since 2010, and the love and acceptance that comes with the journey full of challenges. Since completing College in 2004, Vanessa has been a Developmental Support Worker at Bethesda Services since 2005, working with a variety of individuals living with developmental disabilities, including Autism. After having her three children, and coming to terms that her sons were diagnosed with Autism (2010 and 2012), Vanessa has committed her life to advocacy, awareness, and education to her community of Niagara, Ontario, Canada. With her husband Ryan, and her children (Owen, Maddie and Benjamin), Vanessa continues to raise awareness by public speaking, volunteering for Autism Ontario - Niagara Chapter, running every June on team, "Owen and Ben" and weekly posting on her blog, OwenandBensjourney.blogspot.ca.
