Hi!
Thanks for finding my Substack.
I’m Robin LaVoie.
I began writing here on Substack in 2021 (after writing on another blog since 2012). Most of my writing has been about my life as the caregiver and advocate for my son who is autistic. He’s 25 now – I’ve been writing about him for over half his life.

I am in the process (in the fall of 2024) of re-imagining this Substack – I’ve been daydreaming about making space for other kinds of creative writing, and/or finally committing to doing something with the 60,000+ words I’ve already written about my life (along with other stories to fill in the gaps), which may get re-arranged into an essay collection right here.
Once I decide just how I’ll be using this Substack going forward, I’ll send out an email to my subscribers. If you’d like an update, please subscribe (for free):
Thanks for visiting! Feel free to poke around and read a few things. Make yourself at home! Life around here? It’s Like This.
