I wanted to share a quick video of a new approach I've taken to help Emmett become more comfortable in his shoes and socks. The key here is for him not to realize what we're doing and disguise my efforts in something fun. He loves walking on the treadmill but can't unless he's wearing shoes and socks. It's a safety thing and…
This is the craziest thing I've ever seen and Ive watched this about a million times today..... https://youtu.be/fiVnOwNn4lE
You'll regret it if you don't watch this short video cause it's the cutest thing you'll see today... ☺
Autism is growing exponentially and it seems like we're always getting new numbers and statistics to demonstrate that growth. The reality is that roughly 50% of those touched by Autism will wander from a place of safety. Sadly, in many cases, these elopements will end in tragedy.
