We are raising money for the Childrens Inn at NIH. The Children’s Inn is an organization that provides stay for children with medical conditions, disabilities and other chronic diseases, who are patients at the National Institute of Health. The Childrens Inn has activities, accommodating rooms, a shuttle bus to take you to and from the grocery store and other trips, a game room, computer room, and a bunch of other amenities that the children can use to pass their time. Spinny used to travel to DC at the NIH for medical treatment and would stay at the Childrens Inn during his time there. It is a great institution and we are very grateful to be able to raise money for them, 20+ years down the line. The May Spinny Brand: Gifted & Disabled Summer Bash is on Saturday, May 18, at Four Corners Brewing Co! We are happy to announce our May guest for the Spinny Brand Market, Voice Actors Meredith McCoy, Chuck Huber, Kent Williams, and Jeremy Inman, the Androids will be reuniting for one day only!!

This year for Autism Acceptance Month I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to some of our family and friends for their unwavering support in helping Kyle and I navigate life with autism. Their love, acceptance, and understanding means the world to us, and this journey would be a lot harder to navigate without them by our side. Their patience, kindness, and encouragement have been a guiding light on this journey, and we are thankful for each and every one of you. Their support makes all the difference, and we feel truly blessed to have them in our life. Thank you guys for being my rock, my cheerleaders, and my pillars of strength. Your love and support are truly appreciated, and I’m forever grateful for the beautiful impact you have on Kyle’s life.💙💙💙 #kylesvillage #autism #autismawareness #differentnotless

I never realized how toe walking was injuring my feet and ankles before. Because I tend to walk on the outer part of the front of my feet, I was stretching tendons and ligaments in ways that were damaging them. I now have a ligament that is "loose and frayed," a tendon that is "frayed like a rope," cartilage and connective tissue damage, a bone spur, and a healed bone fracture that I don't even know when it happened. After trying a few other things, the doctor said he doesn't think the injuries are going to improve and that I could choose to have surgery, but I'm not ready to make that decision. For now, I'm going to start wearing an AFO on just my left foot and go from there. I hope it improves the way I walk and protects me from doing any further damage. #autisticpride #autismsupport #autismcommunity #actuallyautisticadult #autismdiagnosis #autism #autistic #autisticadults #autisticwomen #neurodivergent #autismacceptance #autismawareness #autisticlife #autisticspectrum #autismproud #unmasking #autisticjoy #neurodiversityacceptance #neurodiversityawareness #mentalhealthawarness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #disability #disabled #afo #injury #feet #hopeful

Mondays are Spelling Days: What will you miss about Middle School? NOTHING; SOMETIMES TEASED… My biggest nightmare has come true. We started with this question: What will you miss about middle school? Each student in 8th Grade was asked this question so their answers can be included in the slideshow at graduation. Gabe very rigorously spelled NOTHING. I reminded him of some positive memories that I’m aware of like being on Cross Country and the weight room with Mr. Gardiner. Gabe spelled RUNNING and indicated that he meant running in the halls and as a sport. Gabe Spelled: LIKE MANY STUDENTS I WIlLL MISS MY GOOD CHILDHOOD At this point I had a question because I wasn’t sure if he was spelling that he likes many students and he will miss them along with his good childhood. I asked him if he was saying he likes many students. That’s when I wish we had stopped. Gabe Spelled: SOMETIMES TEASED I asked him where? Gabe Spelled: CLEAN CAFETERIA This is the first time Gabe has shared that he is teased at school. Gabe Spelled: YET OTHERS HAVE EASIER TIME CLEANING To Be Continued… #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #apraxia #spelling #rpm #aac #s2c #nonspeaking #nonverbal #nonverbalautism

In my latest blog for @invacareanz, I talk about why I’m calling for Autism acceptance, not awareness in April. Awareness - “Be aware! Here be Autistics!” - makes us out to be creatures to be avoided. Whereas accepting Autism – “Rejoice! Here be Autistics!” – requires understanding and inclusion of Autistic folk. How do we achieve Autism acceptance? I think that the hardest thing for most people to accept is that Autistic adults have Autistic access needs that are real and valid. For example, I need people to accept that my Autistic need for low-sensory environments is just as vital to my participation as my need for ramps when I’m using my mobility scooter. Click on the link in my bio to read more on my thoughts. What do you think is needed to help move us towards greater acceptance of Autistic folk? What could acceptance look like? Have you seen it in practice? . . . Image Description: Text in the top "Why I'm Celebrating Autism Acceptance not awareness this April - by Charlie Park". The Invacare logo.

Hello everyone. Since I have seen fresh new followers coming to my page I would like to reintroduce myself again. My name is Trisha but I would prefer Trish, I was born in Sydney Australia and my nationality is from the Philippines. I attended Catholic primary and high schools but left early to pursue Beauty Services at TAFE NSW. However, I ended up working in the Hospitality industry as a waitress at coffee shops and the Sydney Convention Exhibition Centre instead. Some facts about me: 👇🏼 🪷 I am a single mum raising a son with Autism who was diagnosed in 2017 and have been out of work since my son was born. 🪷 My favourite colour is pink 🪷 Passionate about all aspects of beauty, from skincare to nail care. 🪷 I enjoy shopping and discovering new experiences whenever I can carve out the time. 🪷 Enjoys coffee with almond milk. 🪷 Diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism in 2009 while I was pregnant with my son. 🪷 In 2020, I had difficulty swallowing and sought professional help. I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis and Acid Reflux. 🪷 Created a wellness balance with the help and support from @fromchronictocuredwellness to help me take back control of my health in 2021. 🪷 In 2023, I escaped a nine-year Domestic Violence relationship. I received support from @lets_breakthesilence and @angeline_constantinou, followed by workshops. 🪷 I started to participate in Bible Study classes in May 2023 to help me understand the Bible including the meaning of each parable and God’s promises. . . . . . #singlemomlife #autismawareness #beautylover #coffeelover #healthjourney #wellnessbalance #domesticviolencesurvivor #biblestudy #faithandhealing #selfcarejourney #selflove #skincareobsessed #wellnesscommunity #chronicillnesswarrior #healthandwellness #breakthesilence #domesticviolenceawareness #biblestudygroup #spiritualgrowth #godspromises #faithandhope

Last Friday, we witnessed an incredible display of Harmony in Diversity at the CCSYR Autism Awareness Gathering! With a turnout exceeding 72 family members, the engagement was outstanding. Not only did parents, grandparents, and caregivers join in, but siblings and individuals with autism, ranging from young children to 22-year-olds, also actively participated. Together, they contributed their diverse strengths and personal experiences, elevating the celebration to an extraordinary level.⁠ The event wasn't just about raising awareness but also about embracing acceptance and recognizing that our differences unite us and make us stronger. ⁠ Thanks to Leonilda Patey, Executive Director of CCSYR, for her invaluable guidance and support.⁠ A sincere thanks to Minister Michael Parsa for his recognition and encouraging message to the CCSYR and Newcomers Autism Program community.⁠ We also extend our deepest gratitude to our funders for believing in our vision and supporting us every step of the way.⁠ Special thanks to the volunteer parents and siblings for their support. ⁠ Dear families new to our community, always remember that CCSYR is here to support you and your loved ones.

Since we are talking COMMUNICATION today, let me use a picture of me talking 😁 We are FINALLY on Chapter 5 of Mastering Autism by @lolaaneke. This chapter speaks to parents and professionals, but I'll stick with parents. In this chapter, Lola advocates that parents should get professional help in building their child's communication skills and partner with them in order to generalize the skills. Generalization means that the child can use the skill in different settings and with different people. According to her, the key professional for this is the Speech and Language Pathologist, however, she mentions that an Applied Behaviour Analysis techniques also work on building autistic children's communication skills. She shares some vital points that I believe are crucial. 1. Focus on developing interactions and communication in the child's natural environments; home, school, playground, etc. 2. When speaking with the child, you are both communicating with the child and modelling speech to them. 3. Make use of familiar, specific and concrete words with them. Use vocabulary that is appropriate to the child's comprehension level. 4. Provide visual aids for easy communication. This can serve as augmentative and alternative forms of communication. These could be gestures, sign language, pictures or devices. 5. It is important that all these are done in partnership with your child's speech and language therapist. Tomorrow is another day 😁 #AutismGist #AutismAwareness #AutismSupport

I wanted to show those with outward physical disabilities such as someone in a wheelchair, someone who needs glasses, etc. as well as those who are neurodiverse that you might not can tell with their outward appearance but maybe they use a chewy tube, wear a weighted vest, etc. #disabilitybookweek #childrensbooks #childrensbookauthor #specialneeds #neurodiversity #disabilityawareness #autismawareness #publishedauthor
