Our children learn, not only from books, but by watching and listening to how we, as parents, are responding to situations. For those of us who … [Read more...] about Introducing Race And Ethnicity To Children With Autism

Hollywood Studios Day!

After having such a great day celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday the day before, we were all ready to keep the party going at Hollywood Studios!  We were, once again, out the door early in the morning.  It was another warm day in Orlando, but the sun was hiding behind some gray clouds.  Once we … [Read more...] about Hollywood Studios Day!

After the kids enjoyed cheeseburgers, fries and Mac & Cheese, they had fun playing all kinds of games! It was so nice to invite Michael’s friends again this year.  His friend Elise from his old school and a new friend Roscoe enjoyed being a part of the fun too! Michael really had fun on the motorcycle with his dad! We always encourage Michael to try everything.  We may have to make accommodations for him but it’s worth it to see that smile on his face! It was a great day! #birthdayparty #twins #autismmom #autismfamily #daveandbusters
