My Upbringing with Two Autistic Brothers
Hello
Not to sound too "Perks of Being a Wallflower," but I don't want to tell you my name. It is important to me that I remain anonymous for the sake of my family, who I love dearly. There will be very personal stories included in this site, so it is only fair that I respect their privacy while telling my story.
My Story
For the purpose of this site, my name will be Louisa. She was always the most fun of the Von Trapp family children. Who I am really is the oldest child in a family of six. To add a layer, I am from my mother's first marriage, and her new husband (my dad) was generous and kind enough to adopt me when they were married. That is a story in and of itself. We'll talk about it later. I am also an unwanted chid, as my biological father signed away his rights, went on to marry and had four other children (possibly more). I don't say this to play the victim, but because I hope that everyone sees this as a safe space and maybe even find parts of my life that they relate to. I am an animal lover, I am a songbird, and, hopefully, I am a writer.
