APRIL 2 - WORLD AUTISM DAY

This journey at times with Adonis over the last 3 years while it is stressful and hard is also extremely humbling and fulfilling. Adonis is the light of our lives. His beautiful personality shines every single day. He has the best humour and is always looking to help others in need. He is a gentle soul that loves hugs, kisses and adventure. I want him to NEVER change and continue to show the world how amazing he is. He continues to teach me and I am forever grateful that God thought I was strong enough to raise him.

WHAT I ASK OF YOU - educate yourself and your family that it is OK to be different. It is ok to see the world in unconventional ways. It is ok to process all of the wonders around us differently. Don't judge others for how they see things but to understand. We have the power to make sure these kiddos constantly feel welcomed, loved and understood.

It's not just about today but every single day that you can do more! I look forward to continuing this journey with my sweet Adonis 💙

By far the best gift I could have ever been given as a parent from my child. There was a time when so many questions arose in my head after hearing his diagnosis; would he talk, would I hear I love you, would he write/read, would he socialize, what would his life be like? I didn't know if this would be something we'd ever get to see. The happiest of tears getting this from Adonis with the help from his amazing therapist (Dara) from because they have shown me that Adonis is amazing and capable of so many things, the sky is the limit! His progress in 2 years is amazing and I can't wait to see what comes next ❤️

Today marks a big day in my learning journey, I start Montessori school! I am so excited to meet new friends, learn lots and play with new toys!

We cannot wait to see the amazing growth in Adonis with this new journey. His therapy team is helping him on his journey and has been preparing him for the last year! Happy first day my sweet Adonis 💕

With ASD kiddos, their needs are all different, there is no one fits all formula. When it comes to services, it needs to be assessed what is most important for the kiddo at the stage they are at. No matter what it is, the truth is it is extremely costly.

Adonis is in 1-on-1 ABA therapy, a part time school readiness program, speech therapy once a week and a social class once a week. Do you have any idea how much that all costs?! It is over $65,000 CAD a year! That's a full time salary! That doesn't account for all the specific materials and toys we use at home to help with any specific sensory needs.

This is one of the reasons we started Awareness for Autism. We want to help families with the financial burden. Early intervention was HUGE for Adonis, he is doing so great because all of these services received. But what if it takes 4+ years to get any funding, what do you do then? The government has such a long waitlist for funding.

Consider donating today and attending our inaugural walk on April 30 to raise awareness and understanding for ASD.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day!
We are so proud of Adonis, his accomplishments, his hard work and amazing personality! We hope today especially but every day our families, friends and community can learn more about kiddos like him to create inclusive environments that celebrate neurodiversity.
What can you do today to acknowledge and celebrate World Autism Awareness Day?!

It's a special month, Autism Awareness Month! I challenge everyone including myself to think about how they can learn more about autism. How can we teach our kids? How can we create spaces where everyone is accepted? How can we do better? We would love to hear some suggestions!

This is our fantastic logo done by the amazing who brings what is in my head to reality!

Fun fact: she gave us different options and Adonis picked this one. ☺️ I couldn't agree more, it is perfect for our initative!

Another fun fact: we wanted to keep the puzzle piece because Adonis' mind is a beautiful mystery that we are looking to solve. ❤️ The puzzle may be never ending but we will always keep trying to put it together for better understanding.
