Autism Awareness videos

If you read my blog regularly, you might already have seen these 2 videos I made about my son. 

 If you don't read my blog regularly....well, what's wrong with you?!?!?!?! Just kidding. 

If you don't know it yet, I'm the proud mom of a young man on the spectrum and I love him so much!

 These videos were made about him to raise awareness about Autism.  

  

 Autism is a developments disability that affects several areas such communication, learning and social interaction. 

When most people think about Autism, they picture in their head a person that doesn't talk, makes noises and flaps their hands. 

While this is true, there are also lighter forms of Autism that can go hidden for a long time. 

Looking at my son, it will take you a while to see that he's "different", but nonetheless he's affected by this disability. Plus he was diagnoses with ADD and Tourette Syndrome. 

I, myself, have a light form of Asperger. I fake through things most of the times so people won't see it too well, but it's there. 

 Learn about Autism. 

While we can be prepared for "typical" people, the world still needs to be prepared about us. 

Please.

Autism Awareness month.

Welcome to April, Autism awareness month. 

As the picture above says, in our house is Autism Awareness every day, not only this month. 

That said, during this month you'll probably see lots of posts pertaining Autism from me. 

Please, spread the word and help me raise awareness. 

To start, some numbers for you to think on:

  

Are you aware yet?

 

Merry Christmas to me Part 5

I have started to get some Christmas goodies in the mail from my dear friends, so I thought to start sharing them with you and make you drool! 

It's time to thank Sewnfromtheheart for sending me this lovely ribbon and all the supplies to make Autism Awareness ribbons. 

I do love how thoughtful Alicia was knowing that this is a cause very dear to me!

Speaking of Autism......

Since I was prepping for the 5k, I was inspired to make this videos about my kids and of course Autism. 

I know that it's not Autism awareness month yet, but I thought I will go ahead and make them up so I'd have them ready for April. 

Nonetheless, I hope you all will enjoy them 

The ONE Run

Isn't my daughter just darling watching all those runners go?? 

 I promoted this race before and yesterday was finally the day! It was lots of fun but today I totally paid the price of the fatigue. 

Still, it was totally worth it! 

This is me and hubby waiting for the race to start!

But let me tell you, I was tickled from Friday when I picked up my registration packet:

Of course, the packet contained my runner number (47), my personalized shirt that says "My Child is the ONE" and then lots of goodies from local sponsors like a bag from LuluLemons, an Autism Awareness bracelet, a clip holder from Chelco, tooth brush, tooth paste and floss from the local dentist, coupon for spa treatment, a beauty class and a night club coupon, plus free pass for the bowling alley and gift certificates along with soap, shampoo and facial creme samples.....even a pen and a drink holder.....JACK POT! 

My personal contribution was to crochet the medals that went to the winner. 

I created a small puzzle piece and I choose the colors green and blue as they are the colors of the school we were raising money for, the Emerald Coast Autism Center.

This is me running it!!

And this is how I looked after finish the whole 5K.....OMG!

Hubby even took a picture of my coming out of the port-a-potty, but I spare you that one! 

The things I'd do for this little guy!!
