About

Welcome to Mindless Mommy Dot Com.

My name is Melissa and I am your site owner.  I am 30-something and have two children on the autism spectrum.  I felt compelled to blog about my experiences as a parent to children dealing with autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, anxiety, ADHD, and sensory processing disorder.  My children have had occupational therapy, speech therapy, play therapy, and have participated in social skills groups - among other things.  This blog is dedicated to our life. 

In addition to my life as a mom, I am also a freelance writer as well as a student.  Seeing the difference that speech-language pathologists made not only in my children’s quality of life, but my quality of life, I have decided to return to college to obtain a degree in Speech and Hearing Science.  I figured the world could use a few more SLPs that have experience as a parent and also as a patient (I received speech therapy way back in the 70s!).
