The highlight of Weston’s day is going to Goodwill. He is allowed to pick out something each time we go (almost daily). He will always pick out the same thing over and over and over again, even if he already has a dozen or two. Such is the life of a family impacted by autism.
This is one of the ways we communicate with Weston on a daily basis. We break everything down into bite-sized pieces so he can easily understand it. As many of you know Weston is a fantastic reader. He also reads lips and does sign language. I was thinking and asking myself the reasons why Weston has came so far over the years. I believe we’ve been able to rewire his mind to a certain degree. By continuing positive reinforcement and education. It’s called neuroplasticity. It’s a lot of work but boy is it worth it!

The biggest fear of a parent that is caring for a disabled child is what is going to happen to my son/daughter when I am no longer around.

Whenever I’m feeling down and discouraged I just look at these pictures of my precious children Weston and Emily and think of all the joy that they have brought to me and Joyce over the last 20-plus years. I am then equally humbled at the awareness of how many lives their lives have unknowingly touched through the sharing of their stories.
Weston and Emily were born perfect in God’s image. I would have it no other way.
I am humbled beyond humble and looking at these photographs and precious memories. And, thank you for allowing me to share their lives with you.
Please keep us all in your prayers and all of those who have children now adults and similar situations.
A question that is over every parent’s head with a child (adult child) with autism is: What happens to him or her when I/we are no more?

The highlight of my day is giving and receiving a hug from Weston. It took a long time for him to get comfortable with someone touching him, which is common with Autistic kids.
