My grandson is autistic and my passion is making life better for him and all others who are born with this mystery handicap! I have devoted myself to helping promote AUTISM AWARENESS! 1 out of 9 boys are born autistic! Next year 50,000 autistic students will graduate from high school! Where will they go? What will they do to make themselves proud to be a productive citizen of the USA? When you purchase one of my Autism Awareness items you will be helping find that answer! Help is needed!

Your closet touched me! My daughter was diagnosed with Autism at age 3 so this is personal for me. I love what you're doing here! We need more people like you fighting for our kids!

@shayarmelin Thank you so much! My mission on Poshmark doesn't seem to be doing so well! I was about to give up but you have inspired me ! Did you know that. 1 of every 9 boys born is autistic?
shayarmelin
No! Don't give up! We need people like you in this world! A lot of people are still in the dark about Autism! I'm glad my words helped you bc I really admire what you're doing! I didn't know that about boys being 1 in 9 that's pretty deep. Please don't give up! Continue with opening the doors to awareness!!!!!!👍👍👍

@sadie609 Thank you! Having one with Autism really frustrates you when their needs are not being met,

It's so heart warming to see families being so involved! Your grandson is lucky to have a grandma who is so willing to spread the word.

@heathers3stars You have made my day sharing and liking my attempt to make people aware that we are in crisis with 50,000 autistic children turning 18 in 2 years! The world is NOT ready but you are sharing the message! Thank you so much!

@susu49 such a good thing. My son has high functioning. Meaning he's to smart for his own good. I am a lucky one where he has learned how to cope with it. I think god everyday. But has sever depression. 😕
susu49
@jusstask. Tony will turn 16 this next weekend!
He is medium functioning but is experiencing some depression! He's funny and cute and will always be our baby! Hate that your son is depressed! I guess it "comes with the territory"!
Tony is upset that he can't drive!!!!
Oh how I love that child!!! My heart has always ached for him!

@susu49 I will see if you still have it when my funds clear. I think my son will like it. He does not tell anyone much about his life nor his grades 4.0. Nobody knows. He does not want to be labeled by others. He over comes it all. He took state this year in wresling & your son will graduate 😊. Because, yes they get frustrated but they don't back down. 💐
susu49
@justask I hope you are right! He is stubborn (a little). He gets what he wants most of the time !
justask
@susu49 I am. I always knew my son had it but there is nothing no cure or MEDS. He had a speech impermanent too but he has learned to think before he speaks. Can't tie his shoes, just learned to ride a bike but hey - he passed his driving test without opening a book. He just can't do the small things. Just don't push to hard like I did. I feel as if I put him in a depression state of mind but they say he's always had it. Now I just set back and I watch because he is harder on himself then I ever could be. We are learning together 😊 & it's very hard for us both.
susu49
@justask Tony has always been very verbal and he is very articulate and has a huge vocabulary! Can't read! He's learning by texting! Just now learned to tie his shoes! He is very literal and doesn't always "get" the joke!
susu49
@justask How old is your son?
justask
@susu49 he just turned 17. It's because they don't understand when someone is joking or criticizing them. My son has practiced and learned in a mirror how to smile & everything. My son does not understand human emotion they said "he may look happy seem happy but he can't feel happiness - he never will. He does not liked to be touched unexpectedly. He can feel in pithy for others and sadness - always wanting to help another w/there problems. There is just so much. But the last year w/teenage hormones it's been bad. He wants to be free but yet he has to follow a schedule or he will get so frustrated. I'm not to sure how he can have his freedom -when in his own head he needs this schedule. But over all he seems normal you just have to really know him to see anything is wrong with him. He had no social skills as a young child until about 15 & never even noticed he only had 2 friends. He now in high school hides it all too well. He has learned how to just pretend or something. But he still had ticks, bangs on his head when he's frustrated, can hear ever noise and becomes over whelmed - but hides it all. He has to have his clothing lined up by color & don't get him anything new or he will walk it out to the trash can. It's just so much but I know him inside & out others just don't understand.
susu49
@justask They sound so much alike except where they are on the spectrum! Tony does not allow anyone to hug him buy me! He is sure he's going to date and eventually marry and have children! So many more disappointments ahead .....
justask
@susu49 maybe not. He will just have to find someone that understands him & excepts him. Yea my son is number 23 in GPA out of 428 students. He was upset cuz he was not number 1. Man I would of killed to be number 23 - he will have 4 certifications CNA, Pharmacy tech, dental ass & something else by the end of next year & he's only a sophomore ( bday runs in Jan) that's why. His therapist said he was smarter then her lol.. He now refuses therapy says once a week she will never know him like I do. And he's tired if flipping the cards making her answer her own questions.! He's amazing. Tony will be too. He will soon learn with age. Like I said my kid still can't tie his shoes. But I would give anything for his brain.
susu49
@justask Tony just needs a service/friend! He had one friend and he doesn't live here! They are just/alike! They have their own communication! We can't understand it! It's like they are Martians! Fun to watch!
justask
@susu49 I know the feeling my son had a friend in 3rd grade who did not talk but yet they communicated it was odd. Then in 9th grade we moved back & he ran into that kid & he still don't talk but they have breakfast together every morning. It's amazing.
justask
@susu49 TRUELY gifted young men. But watch for those teenage hormones -they bite you in the a**. Lol..

bluidvll
@susu49 absolutely candy, fun things for dinner, crafts and things like kids show that is here once a year, corn mazes and other events on holidays! Stay up late laughing and telling stories or playing board games like Life, or cards. That way when they are home they will be bored and whining about, just as my son used to do when he was a boy. Our grandchildren are Gods way of saying I told ya so and where we just sit back and smile! My grandkids are angels at my house because we do fun things and they know if they were not good I would just take them back home. Lol 😀😀😀

What a wonderful dream, love it..

@indeebee Thanks! "If you build it, THEY will
come!" I believe this!
indeebee
Sure they will. My nephew goes all the way to Mexico for dolphin and horse therapy. He is doing great. He is H.S. And he is in the music band, he also can sing in Spanish. he has been able to accomplish so many thing drs told he would never be able to do. No sure if is the animal therapy, but for sure all the love and support he gets.
susu49
@indeebee There ya go! Never give up! Miracles happen when you least expect it! Tony learned to read this year by using the computer and texting on his IPhone! He loves the"new world" that has opened up for him!!!
indeebee
That is so wonderful!!! computers have been opening up the world of communication for children with cognitive disorders. I am so glad and happy for him. He is also lucky to have such an amazing support and loving system.

This just made me cry! In a good way! It warms my heart to see someone who genuinely cares, to raise awareness! I think when I'm able, I'm going to follow in your footsteps! Currently, we're dealing with unexpected unemployment, and I'm disabled, but this gives me a goal to look forward to! Thank you for all you do, from a Mommy of one of these extremely special kids! 💜

susu49
@momo513p I hope your grandson is not autistic! It's been hard on all of us but worth every minute of 17 years!!!! Tony is wonderful!!!!
Talk to your grandson constantly! We did that and he never went through the non-verbal part! He is very articulate and knows all the sports stats! He has been a Blessing to this family! Let me know what the tests show!

@susu49 I have 13 year old daughter and soon to be 5 year old twins, a boy and a girl. Our son is nonverbal autistic BUT he makes strides everyday and is just now starting to talk. He amazes me everyday and I'm proud to be his mom. We've worked very hard with services, therapists ... My whole family work all day everyday to help him and the difference from 2 1/2 years old to now is astounding. Thank you for your story and all you do. I'm selling more of my things for extra therapy this summer

@susu49 your grandson is beautiful. My husband says handsome not beautiful!!! but ... He's beautiful !! ❤️
susu49
I just posted a new pic@ He graduates from Benton High School this month! Keep hanging in there and think of Tony who didn't read until 2 years ago! He's witty and smart in lots of ways! Never give up....... Tony was awarded a scholarship to attend a new program at University of ArKansas Medical Sciences UAMS! I know your little autism angel will go far with your great support system! God is Good and miracles happen a lot in the autistic world!

I love what you're doing here. I've been a Special Ed. Para for 18 years, started when I was 19. I've worked with all ages and all disabilities, including Autism. I think awareness of special needs has come a long way, but there is still a long way to go. I salute you.

@cclements79. Thank YOU for being one of the many unsung heroes for special needs students! Tony graduated from high school last week and will continue on with his education through Project Search! It is sponsored by a special needs school in Little Rock, AR and our famous UAMS (University of ArKansas Medical Sciences). Only a few kids were awarded the opportunity to expand their world!!! Many more are uncertain and confused about their futures in these Crazy Times! Keep on keeping on!
