What a Difference a Year Makes

A year ago today my son said sentences like…
“This is yummy”, “What is this Mama”, “Its not your turn” Today he had every teacher coming to us wanting to be the first one to retell the story of what he had said today.

Joshua hates ‘centers’ he’s not interested in . So deciding that he had enough of centers today, he told them…

I’m not going to do any work. Not now, not ever, not in a million years.

No matter what!!!

Apparently no one could even be mad at him because they all giggled and couldn’t believe that just came out of his mouth. ????????????
What a difference a year makes! #nevergiveup #celebrateeverymilestone #proudmama #asd

About the Author: Stacey Christoff

My son showed signs of autism around 18 months. The only thing that was hard to grasp was how "unautistic" he seemed. Everyday became a checklist...is he, isn't he? I always knew he was on the spectrum, but where was his place. I knew I didn't want to label this little boy, but I searched for answers with every part of my being. Joshua was diagnosed with autism, but high functioning autism. That meant with therapy, dedication, and love Joshua would conquer this disorder. He would become a hero of autism to inspire other families that success stories aren't only possible, but attainable.
