Proactive

No not the skin care cream from T.V. (lol) But the way Mike and I are acting lately. We've had an eye opening experience that really made us reflect on ourselves. We realized that we've become slackers. Yes-Mike and I have become autism slackers. We use to attend classes and read anything that contained the words autism, But then things happened.. Babies, job changes, moving,bills, kids, school, etc..... So we stopped educating ourselves.
But that's all behind us. Mike and I have become more active in the learning skills that will help Mason and our entire family ensure that we all become successful. I attended a 6 week class at the Uof U that contained alot of information about behavior management. Mike went to a conference last weekend that was jammed packed with so much information.
But our biggest success step is as a family we've signed up for the Walk Now For Autism. I'm so excited to be apart of this experience. Sure it's just walking....but we'll be walking with hundreds or maybe thousands of people who know personally what we are experiencing. We're all excited for this walk...so go Team T-Rex!
