Happy World Autism Awareness Day from some of our AUsome kiddos! 💙🧩💙

In 1998, when I first learned about autism as a high school senior, almost no one knew what it was. Fast forward to almost 30 years later and I am now the founder of Lotus, a leading ABA therapy provider in South Florida that will soon be celebrating 15 years. Most discussions about autism these days are less about awareness and more about love and acceptance of individuals with neurodiversity. We still have a long way to go, but we can’t forget to be grateful for how far we’ve come.

If you love someone with autism, drop a blue heart or comment their name below 👇🏽 Because today is a good day to be the love you wish to see in the world 🪷

It’s World Behavior Analysis Day! 💙🧩💙 Who knew?!? Behavior analysis is something I instantly I fell in love with as an undergrad at FIU. The logic, the data, the science, the ability to make meaningful changes in the life of a child with autism. Here I am over 20 years later and I’m still in love. Feeling thankful for all of our AUsome kiddos throughout the years, and now even my own little Bebesito who I get to practice behavior analysis with on the daily as his momma. Behavior analysis changes lives. It changes lives for the better. And I couldn’t be more proud of the work we do every day. Here’s to a lifetime of caring and loving for one another bigger and better with the power of behavior analysis! 💙🧩💙

Lotus Women Volume 8: “Can you picture a world without women? We are nurturing, kind, strong, and fierce. We are responsible for every single human life ever to have been born on this beautiful planet Earth. Our bodies are magically designed to grow a fetus, birth a baby, and then sustain its life with nothing but breastmilk for 6 months or longer. We turn houses into homes, groceries into meals, and energy into love. We raise children and we work full time. Women are both caregivers and breadwinners. We are leaders, lawyers, doctors, and CEOs. We are daughters, sisters, mothers and best friends. Women are unstoppable. Simply irreplaceable. I am a woman. What’s your superpower?” Karelix Alicea, M.S., BCBA, ITDS…Founder / President of Lotus Behavioral Interventions 💙🧩💙

Lotus Women Volume 7: “Being a woman: I love the eyes and heart I get to have that is unique to being a woman. I have sort of a 6th sense for so many things that I can only contribute to womanhood. I love the strength that is shown when women are vulnerable and the gift of motherhood. I also have had the gift of raising two women of my own” ❤️👸🏻❤️ Angela Yusty, B.A., Administrative Director
