Howdy, ladies. My name is Christina, and I’m not at BlogHer. (Just like you!) I’m 30 years old. I’ve been happily married for nearly nine years now. My adorable son TJ turns four at the end of August. I run my own copywriting business, Phenomenal Content LLC. I write thousands of words each day, but very few for my own projects! You know, like this blog.
I have a few little problems. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Two chronic illnesses for the price of one! But wait, there’s more! I may also have Fibromyalgia. I’m still on the fence about that, though. The pain may just be another facet of the CFS. Or vice versa. Maybe I’ll just stick with whatever insurance will cover. I’m also probably the pickiest eater you’ll ever know.
TJ has mild Asperger Syndrome, but he’s still the cutest kid ever! What a lovable little boy. I couldn’t ask for a better son.
This is me in a nutshell. How about you?
This post is part of Blog Hop ’09 and Blog Nerd ’09.
That’s me: Christina Gleason. I’m a writer, editor, and disability advocate. I'm a multiply disabled autistic lady doing my best in this world built for abled people. I’m a geek for grammar, fantasy, and casual gaming. I hate vegetables. I cannot reliably speak, so I’ll happily conduct business over email or messaging instead.
Stopping by from the BlogNerd Blog Hop. I love words, sounds like you have a great job. I am a SAHM so blogging is my release to get all of my words out. Have fun Blog Hopping.
Hi! Nice to meet you 🙂
I so recognize the not getting time for your own projects sadly. My ds is an Aspie too but yep a real cutie too of course.
Enjoying wandering through the blog hop.
I LOVE that your family goes shopping together! I so wish my sis lived closer so we could do that. It would make it so much more fun! 😉 Nice to meet you!
Hi! Well, we have a lot in common! I also have a chronic illness, and my younger daughter has autism. my older daughter has bipolar d/o. ACK!!!!!!!!!! lol

Stopping in from the Blog Hop and wanted to say hi. Wow – it sounds like you have a lot on your plate! Hope you have a great weekend… happy hopping!
Stopping by from the bloghop! Sounds like you have a lot to deal with everyday. I have to say that’s pretty amazing. 🙂
Hi! Im stopping in during BlogHop and wanted to leave a comment. I am a mom to 4 kids, the oldest two with some special needs. My oldest daughter has Aspergers and my second oldest has ADHD (hyperactive/impulsive subtype. I am glad to know you are out here in the blogosphere, and will be stopping by again! Come visit me!
Hi Christina nice to meet you. We have a couple things in common. I too suffer from anxiety. I have a son with high functioning autism. Stopping by from the blog hop to say hello! Have a great weekend.
So glad to meet you Christina. It must be challenging to deal with both anxiety and chronic fatigue. But I’m glad you have a great kid. Maybe next year we’ll all get to go to BlogHer in NYC!
Wow, thanks for all of the great comments! I will be at BlogHer ’10 next year. Already bought my ticket! I couldn’t resist. It’s only about 3 hours away from me! 🙂
I plan to be at Blog Her 2010. I also live about 3 hours away so there is no way I want to miss it.
Found your site through Blog Hop. I am on my way to look around your site!
Stopped by from BlogNerd to say hello! Nice to officially meet you! So next year you’ll be at the big blogging conference and you won’t need a pity party – LOL!
Thanks for commenting. I love hopping around to so many wonderful blogs!
I have four boys with special needs. Isn’t it wonderful how we can all make this world a smaller place?
Glad I could make you laugh.

I too have an anxiety disorder and about a month ago finally got on Zoloft to help with it – and it’s helping!! I am so relieved to not have anxiety, because it is a horrible thing to deal with.
I have a son who has some sortof spectrum of autism, and sometimes I wonder if it’s Aspergers. He is such an amazing little boy and I’m thankful that he’s mine!
It’s so nice to meet you!! I hope you come back to Garibay Soup and participate in the Just a Motivating Monday link up carnival… and I just want to say Thank you for participating in BlogNerd!!
