Brittany and Ryan both have autism and competed in the 2019 Special Olympics.

Their story goes beyond sport though. They are getting married later this year. https://t.co/4qMTKHRaWV #WorldAutismAwarenessDay

Much to smile about in this story. We need more businesses like this one that trains, employs and supports adults on the #autism spectrum

Please may I offer a pro #AutismParent tip?

It is an awful lot easier to change the environment for your #autistic child than your autistic child.

Part of their environment is ourselves; their parents. Love and accept your child as they are, #autism and all.

Any medication - even those sold over the counter - can have side effects. These side effects can be especially tumultuous and dangerous for children and young adults on the #autism spectrum.

I believe that a child should be in the water by six months. Start with play in the sink and the tub.

New case study: 11 yr-old Lolly has increased coordination, balance, agility, focus and self-confidence in a little over 3 months in my #autism physical fitness program. So proud of her!

A great post by @Kerrymagro about why it's so important to take #autistic children out into the world instead of living in fear of meltdowns.
