Autism Awareness April 1st

Yes, I know it is April 2nd. I had every intention of starting this yesterday, and life got the best of me. So, here is my first post, and only a day late. ;)

April 1st autism awareness:

Naomi sings this song hours every day. The words change, but she's been using the same melody for a couple of years. Before she spoke (approximately 26 months is when she first started using words), it was a wordless song. Naomi has loved music since before she was born, and has a natural ability for it. Not all autistic children do, but quite a few do. This is one of the beautiful parts, but it is also something that can be very trying. She does this CONSTANTLY. She's not often quiet about it. Especially in the car.

In other news, Naomi's creative play has gotten a lot better. We work on this daily.

Oh, and please, pretend you don't see my clean laundry waiting to be dealt with.
