This is Liam

A Journey with Autism. A rocky rollercoaster ride of ups and downs...and JOY!

When a man
has a plan
just because he can

How can I not let him be?

When a Crocs shoe
he found in the car
transforms
into a Tim Hortons Chocolate Chunk Cookie Container

How can I not let him be?

It DOES have a handle
It's hollow inside
A snack on the go
Where the crumbles can hide

When a man
has a plan
just because he can

How can I NOT let him be?! 😄💙

Happiness is touching, feeling, smearing, painting, exploring, shaving cream, textures 💙😄🎨

Liam loves to explore his world through sensory play. Sensory seeking all the time...😉

I will never ever ever take any of these for granted! I will never get enough of this 🙏🏻 🙌🏻💙

The beautiful sunny day
Our beloved Westwood trail
Your smile
Your stimming
Your spinning
How you absorb Nature
And how it brings you

JOY!! 🎉🎉

Conditioner and corn starch make beeeaaaauuutiful play dough.

Who would've thought? 🤔

So easy. So quick!

Yes...The Mother gets older and cannot figure out whether she has Shampoo or Conditioner in her hand when water sprays on her face in the shower

and yes...

I love the play dough more than Liam does 😉🤪😄

I never knew

about

broken blinds
holes in walls
p**p smearing
meltdowns
self injury
not sleeping

I never knew

about

only eating fries
repeating songs nonstop
running away and escaping
visual schedules
weighted blankets
sensory challenges

I never knew

about

i s o l a t i o n
frustration
fear of the future
just surviving some days

I never knew 🥹

I know

about

hope
endurance
patience
taking deep breaths

I know

about

crochet and gardening and sanding old furniture to keep sane

I know

about

clinging to God for strength

I know

that my love for you Liam

is
what
keeps
me
going ❤️

Inmate Liam 🤪😄

Yes, we invested in an AngelSense Tracker for our boy. Now we can track Liam's movements on our phones whenever he Houdini's his way out of our yard.

Two of my biggest fears in life? Liam drowning and Liam running into oncoming traffic...Liam has no sense of danger. No fear. He's been on our roof many times before. He hangs on ledges, runs on ponds not completely frozen, he's living on the edge. Literally 🤦‍♀️
(His old Mama's cortisol levels are skydiving like Liam's sense of adventure and adrenaline levels 😳)

I am still not ready to write about the last time he escaped from our house:
Last month.
Twice in one day.

He's fast. He's quick. He makes plans.

This is our life.

This is Liam! 😉💙💨⚡️

Happiness! 🎉💦💙

Thank you Tristan and AquaNauts Swim Academy.

Walking with you this morning
And yesterday
Brought new waves of gratitude
Knocking me off my feet

You are not running away
Like you used to
When I was walking with you
Holding your hand in a tight grip

Just craving a peaceful walk with my son
Calm and content. In one direction.
Not rushed. Not forced.
Appreciating our beautiful surroundings

You don't hide in the washing machine
Or on the shelves anymore
You don't tear every piece of paper
You lay your hands on 🤪🤦‍♀️

You still escape from our house at times
You still try to push your luck
You still try to get to the roof
We still have challenges

But today I say thank you:

For this moment

I Hold on
I Treasure
I Embrace

This moment 🙌🏻🙏🏻🎉💙
