Back to the Far Blue #Mountains // #NC #NorthCarolina

This #ASD mommy had an incredible moment that had to be shared. We love to #read, so getting our youngest to read/ be read to has been a longtime goal. Tonight, he signed "book" and wanted to me to read to him. He sat in his chair, #stimming of course, but listening, smiling, and chattering away the whole time. I wanted to cry but held it together to give the best reading I possibly could. // #Autism parents, don't give up. Set goals for your child and have dreams for their futures. This may have taken over two years to happen, but it did. Today it's books. Tomorrow it's anything. // #thankful #thankfultoGod #AutismParents

Can you tell what his favorite part of the store is? // #Autistic children sometimes find fish to be #calming and #therapeutic, especially when anxious and over stimulated. // In a crowded store after a long day of riding and errand-running, visiting the fish was just the thing for our #ASD child. // #autism #SPD #AutismAwareness #AutismParents
