April is Autism Awareness Month
In support of our son and all others affected by Autism, the two lights on the outside of our house will be blue for the entire month. We will also be wearing blue tomorrow (April 2) for World Autism Awareness Day. We welcome anyone and everyone to join us in either or both of these events!
In addition to this, I would like to make everyone aware of just how unique Autism is. No child is the same on the spectrum. Just like no child/adult is the same, neither is the approach his or her parents take to treat the symptoms of Autism with their child. Though as different as we and our children are, the similarity still remains that we all want what is best for our child and want them accepted for who he or she is.
The following links are some favorite posts that will show you just how unique each parent's perspective is about certain situations they deal with or want to educate on. The links provided are going to take you to some blogs of my most favorite people in this world. I don't need to physically be with them or talk to them to know how much I adore them and their kiddos...and through all the moves we will make in the upcoming years, these ladies (and a couple gentlemen) will be my constant...my forever friends. They are my online support group that I cherish...for every joy and challenge I have raising a child on the spectrum, they are the ones who will "listen" and give advice that I trust and know is in the best interest of my child.
Thank you and much love...you all know who you are!

It has been so amazing getting the chance to know you and your family and being together as we all face challenges as well as celebrating all of Brycen's many achievements. You've worked so hard and loved so much. :)
