It’s crazy to think back over our journey with autism. When I think about the frustrated toddler who could only grunt or whine to communicate with us, and then look at the boy he is today with an expansive vocabulary who passes as “normal” to so many, it blows my mind.
This week Sawyer started his first season of peewee basketball! I don’t care if he sits the bench 90% of the time; seeing how happy he was about those few minutes on the court made him makes it all worth it. ♥
Holidays with a special needs family member adds a whole different level to preparing for and celebrating holidays.
It’s been nine years since we got the label of “autism family”, and it’s one we wear proudly.
I got asked recently if Sawyer would always have autism. The short answer is yes.
I got one of the most fabulous phone calls a parent can get today.
If you haven’t heard of or seen “Atypical”, I highly encourage you to check it out!
Because a lot of people with #autism have heightened senses, things that may be a little jolting for a neurotypical person could be downright traumatizing for someone on the spectrum.
