Today, Edward’s wonderful teacher brought her baby rabbits into school. Look at Edward’s face! He was so excited and had to show his teacher his bunny hops! 🐇🐰 #autism #autismuk #autismblog #specialschool #babybunnies #bunnyhops https://www.instagram.com/p/CqYU5WlsqH1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Edward had such a lot of fun at football tonight. He focused for most of the hour long session! Until he discovered the different colour bibs and wanted to put them all on! Amazing interaction with the coach and his little friend Joshua @wilders_wife @argyletrust #argylecommunitytrust #pafc #greenarmy #sendfootball #disabilityfootball #autism #autismatfootball #autismblog #autismuk #autismfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5tPlfshGq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are back from our shift at @tescofood Lee Mill! We tidied up some plastic, some toilet rolls and some foil and of course flattened lots of cardboard! Edward had a fantastic time as usual! Thank you so much to all the staff for accommodating us! Edward definitely have the shoppers something to smile about! #autism #autismblog #autismattesco #tescoleemill #autismfamily #mumofautism https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpp6v_jsruf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today, Edward and I are going down to our favourite place aka @tencreekholidaypark to do some caravan maintenance! (When I say we I mean Edward sits in the van whilst I do the jobs) It’s still lovely just being down there! The weather just needs to warm up now thank you very much! #autism #autismblog #autismuk #autismatthecaravan #tencreekholidaypark #looe #cornwall #caravanlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CpXJ8pis5ND/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We have had an amazing day out @longleatofficial safari park with @wilders_wife! It was a two hour drive from where we live and the boys were great in the car (minus some minor whinging!) They both had brilliant reactions when the monkeys jumped on the car! Afterwards Edward said ‘That blew my mind!’ 😂 We then had a little wander round the adventure park. We could have stayed longer but decided to quit while we were ahead and get home before anyone got too overwhelmed and kicked off! Successful day all round and the car survived the monkey mechanics 😂 #autism #autismblog #autismdaysout #autismatlongleat #longleatsafaripark #autismfamily #monkeymechanics https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIvUGHMeYQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another day trip to @tencreekholidaypark to check on the caravan and get it ready for summer. The view from Tencreek is insane! Edward had an amazing time wandering free, collecting random stuff (think Womble! 😂) and playing in the arcade! #autism #autismblog #autismuk #autismatthecaravan #caravanlife #tencreekholidaypark #looe #viewoverlooe #cornwall #womble https://www.instagram.com/p/CojaKxgs9YI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Monday evening and Edward is insisting on listening to his iPad on full blast 😂 How’s your evening going? #autism #autismblog #autismuk #autismfamily #ipadonfullblast #mondayevening https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVK8uUM3Mk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Swipe to see Edward eating @mcdonaldsuk fries and playing on the iPads. He was so sweet and helped a little boy on another iPad. He was interacting so lovely! I am so pleased that Edward eats McDonald’s fries 🍟 #autism #autismuk #autismfoodissues #mcdonaldsisthebestfoodforautism #fries https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNdQI5tvgv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy happy Friday! What does your autistic child take for school lunch? This is Edward’s packed lunch every single day. I constantly live in fear of running out of something because it can’t just be replaced with something similar. Today we have a paediatric appointment where we will discuss Edward’s eating habits amongst other things. He will also be weighed and measured (we have to measure the Teletubbies too! 😂) Have a great Friday everyone! #autism #autismblog #autismuk #autismfamily #paediatricappointmenttoday #autismfoodissues #autismmum #happyfriday https://www.instagram.com/p/CoMSV_xM_50/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Look at my cutie all snuggled up and watching Penguins! Edward’s school was open today so life is carrying on as normal for him. He’s desperate for a day off though and he’s not happy that he’s still got two more days to go! #autism #autismuk #autismblog #teachersstrikeday #specialschoolsopen https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIY6Hds5l8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I got in from work tonight, Edward asked me to come and see his cars! He said ‘I will show you what they do!’ I love this level of interaction! #autism #autismblog #autismuk #autisminteraction #cartrack https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFpRm4MZVB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a lovely day out we have had checking on the caravan and walking round Looe. Edward was super chuffed to see his own coach and made friends with a seagull who was waiting for the ferry 😂 I genuinely feel much happier about life now I’ve been down the caravan! #autism #autismuk #autismblog #autismfamily #looe #mummyshappyplace #caravanlife #wintercaravanning #seagulls #arcades #edwardscoaches https://www.instagram.com/p/CnsBHtnMrVC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
