I'm Veronica Ferdick. I am a proud self-employed mother living in Baltimore County, Maryland although I was born in Central California. I enjoy my lemon ginger tea, I live and die by the do no harm and the three-fold law while navigate this windy, often time bumpy road that is our life.
Aaron did not speak until he was 5 years old and after years of trying to find out why he was diagnosed to be on the extreme end of the autistic spectrum at the age of 7. Now I had a name, now I had a battle plan. Now I could help my son! I remember looking around one day, desperate to find my people, my tribe, families like ours, parents like me, children like him, and feeling alone. Feeling as if no one truly understand, so I created Aaron's Crafts which over the years evolved as I created a space for us, a space for me and Aaron to share our story and to be ourselves.
Welcome!
This website was started from my living a pure act of desperation and has evolved with me, with Aaron over the years.Although this website started as away to promote Aaron's art work it has become so much more. Now you will find glimpses into our lives. We are a family and autism touches us different. Acknowledging that is vital. When a child is diagnosed with austism we often think that the diagnosis, the stigma just affects them. That couldn't be further from the truth. It affects us all.
So, come in and get to know us and let us get to know you. I hope you find us sharing our journey good and bad helpful, inspiring, and that you see that you are not alone! That I see you!
- Veronica, Aaron's Mother
