August 2021… we heard the official words… Autism.

We had known for a few months leading up to this important evaluation that he was already qualifying for therapy services due to showing developmental delays...

but no official diagnosis or action plan.

I think that since I was prepared to hear the diagnosis before walking into that appointment, I wasn’t surprised...

but there were so many emotions.

I wasn’t ready to really talk about it until we knew… although I was already reading books, listening to podcasts, joining Facebook groups, watching videos. I wanted all the info I could get 😅

Now, It’s been a year. (As I take in a deep breath)

All I can say is that I’m 👏🏻 SO 👏🏻 PROUD 👏🏻 of this little boy!

He works so hard every day… and we can see so much progress in the past year 🙏🏻

He is non verbal, so he primarily communicates through hand leading, pointing, or bringing us what he wants.

Pointing is a relatively new skill that is so awesome to see 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He does make a few sounds (and seems to babble more when he swims 😂) He says mama & dada.

He’s working on following two step directions and his fine motor skills are improving too!

I think the most beautiful thing about having a special needs kiddo is just the ability to celebrate each and every small step towards his bigger goals. 💚

Anderson had such a big day yesterday getting his hair cut… Because of his sensory processing disorder, hair cuts are very stressful for him.

But he did FANTASTIC 🎉

He sat so still and only got upset when she had to buzz around his ears (which are the most sensitive).

I am SO proud of this little guy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

WOW. He’s doing it 🙏🏻

@tablefables1 is a fun and interactive way for your kids to practice their math facts.

We have been testing it out the past week, and my kids LOVE it so much!

They can follow the daily challenges to earn rewards or just brush up on their facts and earn points to spend in the Table Fables store.

This has been a win for the whole family!
