S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom's 2015' "Autism Lights in July"VIDEO Mommy Time-Out

Welcomed Back S.M.A.A.R.T.Moms!
      What a Video!  I found a way to get Dustin to actually look forward to what we are calling this years's "Disney Lights".
It seemed to be less upsetting for him then by calling them "Fireworks." If you're a Mom living with autism , I'm sure you can relate. I can remember missing so many Fourth of July Fireworks Displays because of autism melt-downs with our Dustin. Fireworks are so beautiful to watch, but unfortunately they come with that terrible big boom.  So on that note...Once again I am bringing the 4th of July Display to My Moms out there who are going through this; as well as for our son, Dustin.
I hope you enjoy the Display my husband created for our son who  has  become braver each year. It's so gratifying to recall past years when I had to sit in Dustin's room through the entire fireworks, while he shook, cried, and repeated "Fireworks over." Whereas today, I am able to take him outside  and have him sit in my truck and watch ........Well You'll See :)
I hope you enjoy the "Autism Lights in July" Fireworks Display & I hope I inspire you as well!
You're Not Alone. Big Big Hugs!
See You Next Year!

Wish I could say I had a nice time at the walk today, but unfortunately just before we left this morning, Dustin fell running out the door and after , complained about his back. But still wanted to go to the Autism Walk . He's always so excited to see Ronald McDonald & of course get his picture with him . So We Came. We Saw. We Conquered. But our  stay consisted of only walking one lap. I had to bring my Boo Bear home, only instead took him to the ER. No worries. He's relaxing with the help of the doctor.

           

Took him to McDonalds to eat before taking him to the hospital to see why his back was hurting. He's still complaining, so better safe , than sorry . Amazing how a french fry can bring such a sweet smile to his face smile emoticon So sick of this place.UGH! 

Just another example of the things we endure for our special guys/girls (LOL)

This was from yesterday when we were waiting for the doctor to see Dustin at the hospital after the Autism Walk . (No , he didn't get hurt at the walk) But shortly after , Dustin was treated for pulling a muscle in his back. He's doing fine, but better to be safe than sorry smile emoticon So hard to get him to "Slow" down smile emoticon Especially when he's so excited to see Ronald McDonald smile emoticon

What a pleasant surprise for Autism Welcomed! An invite to participate in its "1st" actual autism event! How exciting! So of course you know I had to create a video (LOL) I hope everyone enjoys it.....I do put my heart in to each video.

Thanks for coming back to watch my "90th Video!" 

I  want to send a HUGE HUG & Sincerest Thanks to "The Central Florida Dreamplex"  and Kandi Alexander , my dearest friend/fellow sister of  "We Speak for Them Autism Support Group" who are both in Lake County Florida. It's so nice to finally have some wonderful autism support in our area. In the video you'll get to see all of the logos of places that were in attendance, there were so many to recognize by name and I really wanted to show all of you each  place that was involved. I hope I honored them well by showing the banner a couple of times in the video, so watch for it:)

In Closing, it was so AMAZING to share this with all of the people that came out. Whether it was to participate or to just have an Autism Family Fun Day! We Can't wait for next year! Until Then! 

BIG BIG HUGS!   S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom & Dustin :)
