At night we always get ready for the morning rush. We make sure the monkey’s lunch is ready, his backpack is set, and his school clothes are laid out. This way in the morning, we aren’t running looking for shoes, or jacket, etc. And tonight I couldn’t find his belt. I looked everywhere and I…

I'm the mom of a beautiful boy, who happens to have autism.
We can keep going. ❤️
We went to Sam’s today to buy some pool supplies. While we are looking at the chlorine tablets, the monkey started to get out of the shopping cart. We didn’t notice that on top of the pool supplies was a playground set. He was trying to get up there and play. He was getting fussy…

My parents said the monkey kept hitting himself against the wall outside of school because he didn’t want to get inside my parents’ car. The para-professional will be writing a report to…
Headphones. ❤️
We’ve tried before putting headphones on. He never wanted anything on his head. And today, breakthrough. Below is a post from my husband’s personal Facebook page. Giant baby steps. ❤️❤️❤️
Maybe…. ❤️🙏
I’ve mentioned before how it seems as if he is attempting to sing while watching videos online. Here’s a small clip of today. He just started doing this a little while ago. And if I’m being honest, it gives me hope that maybe, just maybe he’s understanding more. And maybe, this may be the first…
