Hello S.M.A.A.R.T.Moms!

With April being Autism Awareness Month and right around the corner...
I just had to bring you all this early (April)  Mommy Time-Out Online Video Special :)

What a wonderful day to have a Mommy & Me Time-Out Gathering. I wasn't planning on making a video while at the gathering, but after all of the AMAZING things I saw Dustin (autistic) do that was not typical, I HAD to tape this to share with other moms like myself. I've had Dustin in occupational & speech therapy since he was 2yrs. and have been working on his fears of ladders, crossing rope bridges, and just interacting with others. Well to my surprise, a simple visit to the park helped in the success of overcoming Dustin's fears.Not that I've never taken him to the park before, but sometimes, some days are much better than others.....This was "THAT" day (LOL).  I hope this inspires you and makes you Smile like it did us :) Enjoy ! BIG HUGS! S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom

"An Autism Unexpected Circus Surprise Video!" :S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom (FEB) 2014' Online Mommy Time-Out Video

S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom      (Strong Mothers Altering Autism's Realty Together)

This Month:
"A Valentine's Day That Brings "Good" Cries. What an Unexpected Circus Surprise!"

Welcome Back S.M.A.A.R.T.Moms!
This month once again I want to share with you a very special moment with all of you.
 I hope to inspire and encourage you to at least TRY and take your loved one with autism out in to "Public" places. As a mom myself who has a son who is almost 18 yrs. old with autism , I know first hand how difficult this can be. I know that it is much easier to "Isolate" ourselves from going in to public places because of the misguided people, the stares, and especially the fear of a melt-down occurring. It doesn't have to be this way. Moms & Dads I want to help you live your life again. There isn't an Anchor attached to Autism. There are alternatives. I hope that with the videos I create solely for those families walking in my shoes....I hope it will help you in some way, to lift you up, to give you a positive outlook on autism, or at the very least bring a Smile to your day.
Be Strong , Be Patient, & KNOW you always have a Friend called S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom :)
BIG HUGS & Take Care!

Autism? "It's all about Christmas Video" :S.M.A.A.R.T. Mom's (Dec.) 2013' Online Christmas Mommy & Me Time-Out

Happy Holidays S M A A R T Moms!

It's been a very busy time for me, so please bare with me on my video postings. I just had to share my Christmas morning with all of you.  Dustin our  17yr son who has autism  always has theses unexpected responses which especially  seem to come out every holiday. He's had his Christmas list since August and is really hoping to get his "NOW Christmas Music" CD. We've  been hearing him recite the commercial for the past couple of months (LOL) His memory is just astounding :) So this month "It's All About Christmas."
 BIG HUGS! S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom

P.S. Stay tuned for my January 2014' Online Mommy Time-Out Video. I have a very special video regarding my September 2013' Introduction to my Autism Welcomed video. Not too mention an unusual idea I  put in to motion to stop my son from crossing the FOUL Line at the bowling ally. After finding success, I  just had to share it with all of  my S.M.A.A.R.T.Mom Friends  :)
