I guess the universe didn’t think enough was happening inside our house…….
Today we welcomed 6 puppies (so far). The boys were so excited to see Zuri go through the birthing process.
. @paytonsun @BrittneyPayton My son Payton wanted me to send you guys a picture of him and his new jersey. Guess where his name comes from? #BearDown
As Gustism Acceptance Month comes to a close.
We shared pieces of our little Gus Gus. The everyday moments, the challenges, the laughter, and everything in between.
More than anything, we shared who he is.
Thank you to everyone who followed along, took the time to read, learn, and be part of this journey with us. It truly means a lot.
We hope this month showed that understanding matters...patience matters...acceptance matters.
When we think about the future, we think about Gus.
We think about him continuing to grow, learn, and do things in his own way. We think about more moments of laughter, more routines, more of the things that make him who he is.
If you ever see someone out in public who might need a little extra understanding, here are a few simple things you can do:
Be patient.
Give them a little extra time.
Be kind.
A smile or a calm presence goes a long way.
Everyone is carrying something.
You might not see it. You might not understand it. But it’s there.
A tough day. A hard moment. Something bigger going on behind the scenes.
Autism or not, we’re all going through something.
If there’s one thing we hope people take away from this month, it’s this....Just be kind.
No matter the situation.
No matter the circumstance.
Autism or not.
Gus has one of those laughs that makes my heart smile!
The kind that comes out of nowhere....usually from a song, a show, or something only he fully understands.
And once it starts, we're laughing too, whether you know why or not.
Gustism Acceptance Month – Day 25
• Nearly half of children with autism will wander or elope at some point
• Many autistic individuals experience anxiety and sensory sensitivities
• Autism is a lifelong condition, not something someone “grows out of”
