One of the reasons we celebrate OT and Autism Awareness! One of our families shared this:
Not too long ago, this kid couldn't even make eye contact with others & had to cover his ears when the family sang "happy birthday"!! John has been surrounded by teachers, therapists, specialists, and doctors & since he was 3. Six months ago, he auditioned for Mary Poppins Jr . After learning lines, singing, dances, stage cues, spacing, and costume changes- it became so obvious how ready he is to NOW be surrounded by peers doing "typical" things and JOHN CRUSHED IT!! It's always been challenging to see the light at the end of the tunnel raising a son with Autism, but it's milestones like this that remind me to take a step back and see how far up that moutain he has climed! I am forever grateful for his team and for for giving him a home!
