What a wonderful night I wanted to share!

[Guest guest]

We went to a carnival tonight. Usually we have to squeeze in his stroller because he won't walk holding your hand without fighting and taking off. Anytime we do something like this we hate to do it but we end up having to say "sorry, he has autism and doesn't understand" atleast once but usually a lot more. We spent 3 hours at a carnival like a normal family. No strollers, went on rides, he walked with us, asked for rides, got off the bounce house when asked, sat when we asked him to so we could put his shoes back on after the bounce house. It was awesome. We were just a normal family tonight. is no where near recovered, he has many issues left, but nights like tonight are the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I know we can recover him. If not 100% then close to it. Baby steps, slow and steady, that's what I keep reminding myself and MB12 has been the driving force behind our progress.
