- About Me: Spectrummy Mummy is a loving English wife to an American Diplomat (not as glamorous as it sounds), and stay-at-home mummy (just as glamorous as it sounds) to Pudding (3) and Cubby (1) our global nomads. Of course, we are not using our real names to protect the kids’ identities. If you know us in real life, please don’t use our real names in the comments- these are precious people we have to protect!

Join us on our crash course to all things spectrummy, and enter the brave new world of bizarre food allergies.
