Kids in a sence are all the same!! No matter disability or average they all see and do what everyone else is doing. Yesterday Ashton watched his cousins run and jump in the pool and he actually did it... I was in shock!! He never jumps in he starts crying if we ask him too and he will go to the steps and walk in. But yesterday he watched his cousins jump in over and over again and he just ran to the edge and jumped... It was so exciting for I almost jumped out of my chair cheering for him.. the other ppl at the pool were looking at me like I was crazy lol. If they wouldst have met my son two years ago they would know what an accomplishment that was.. I'm so proud of my little man and I can't wait to watch him jump in again and again and again!!!

Autism rocks
Some people may think that autism is a death sentence! I was one of them! But its truly a life long journey that helps you explore new outlooks on everything! Day to day objects that we take for granted and just push aside are the survival tools for autistic children. Toys, doors, songs, sounds, they all play a big role in my sons life and yet I just don't really pay them that much attention they are just things to me! Or they were, now its different, now I have seen objects and life through ky sons eyes and I try not to take any moment or thing for granted! The things that my son has taught me since he has been on the autism spectrum has changed me!! It has changed my life, my Outlook on love, on objects, on everything!! so for me autism truly rocks!!
