Feel free to Gush!

Celebrating the little wins is a must - and gushing over the massive victories is a MUST.

I was in full nostalgia mode today, watching old videos and laughing with my daughter over her antics with her brother at 2 and 4, respectively.  I can't wait until I get to talk more about specifics of our family dynamics - but for now, I'll restrain myself!  

But as we watched some clips, I knew that I had to show this one.  I had about 50 photos selected to share over the course of this podcast, and some videos also - but then I hesitated.  It's hard to know what is for everyone and what is just for us.  But this video - I had to share, and you'll hear why in the podcast.

It wasn't just a win for Mikey and our family - it was him charging ahead and slaying the dragon while we sat in awe, beaming with joy and pride!

I'll not say anymore - but the video is a 2 minute extension of the podcast.  If you want to just see the video - and not listen to the podcast - go for it!    You'll lose some of the context, but maybe you're a "eat dessert before dinner" kind of person. haha  You have my blessing!

But if you're looking for a bit more of the meat behind the message, and more importantly WHY "the label" of autistic has pros and cons...  with boundaries to protect, and boundaries to push beyond... check out the podcast above FIRSTt!  I think it can maybe help you to get some ideas of what conversations need to be had by you and your family - for your household! 

All my love!

❤️, Dreem
