There are many ways you can get involved in raising awareness about Autism. It doesn’t have to just be the month of April. Even though it is now May, I wanted to share with you how my family got involved this past weekend.
On Saturday we rose early, and made our way to the FROGS walk for Autism 2011. It was a 3k, so I wasn’t sure how the kids would do, but they did great! I was so surprised at how incredible the event was. I was so proud of my son Christopher. At this event he conquered his fear of dressed up people (at least for one day), He didn’t fuss that he couldn’t have a snow cone with the juice, He responded wonderfully to our new transition method, He settled for a picture of the pink shoe trophy and didn’t cry when we told him he couldn’t have it. Our family was truly touched to see the amount of people that came out. The pictures do not do it justice, but I will share them anyway.
