  Awesome! Finally, a park where I don’t have to worry about others staring,. Because my son is different. We can be in a park, where there are parents with children who are also under the autism spectrum. And where the staff will be understanding of my child’s needs. Thank you, Sesame Place!

   My little guy is a little too old for it but I’m so happy to hear this for other autism families. ❤

   That’s so awesome to hear that things might start looking up for parents with children on the autism spectrum. I have two children one is two and one is four both with Autisum. When we go to other parks it can be so hard for ppl to understand. This just makes me smile for these little kids to have a place now!! 😃

   My kiddo may be a little old for this but I will definitely be planning a visit this summer. Like other parents have said being somewhere and having a quiet area for him to regroup and not be stared at for being different ❤️❤️❤️ yay!!!!!!!

   My son’s school celebrated Autism today. There were blue balloons and the words Autism spelled out. My son looked at me and said, mom, does it mean I don’t have to be scared anymore? The small town we live doesn’t talk about Autism…but it’s there! I was so sad he thought he had to hide it. I told him we love him just the way GOD made him and he can tell anyone he wants. I hate it took a sign at school for him to feel onlinefortable enough to tell other people at school.

  I cried reading that your son felt he had to hide it. I don’t have kids with autism but do have family friends that do. My heart goes out to you and May God continue to equip you with all you need in raising these awesome individuals. 🌺

  The school that I work at has an awesome Autism program. Those kiddos have an excellent teacher who does big awareness projects every April. I’m glad your son’s school is raising awareness and making him not feel so alone!

    My mother-in-law told me about this last week. I have twin boys who are autistic and I relate to so many of the onlinements made here. It is so onlineforting to be around other families who are like yours and not feel the need to explain anything in answer to the stares people give you sometimes.

    I know this may be super weird. But.. I have a three year old daughter who is under the autism spectrum. I saw a bunch of people post about their children and I would love to be able to talk to a fellow mom going similar situations.

  It’s not weird at all. All of us felt alone and a little confused at the beginning of our autism journeys. I’m more of a Facebook messenger person than email. Morna Brown, there aren’t too many people with that name on there. 😉

  There is a really wonderful lady that I follow on Facebook. She is so full of knowledge, but shares her information with her followers; she actually responds to questions when you ask her, & she is still humble enough to ask questions from her readers. Her blog & FB posts have lit a path for me during the darkness. It was really helpful for me to read about her journey with her two sons with autism. I feel she helps tens of thousands of people across the globe, by giving them courage, inspiration, & hope through her own experiences as she navigates uncharted waters herself.

    Just a side deal but if u are planning a trip to Florida theme parks and are NOT a resident of VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, TX or CA you can buy the super grover pass for sesame place and pick it up at any location (we picked ours up at sea world orlando). This pass is currently $238 and the SAME pass at sea world is $336. It onlinees with ALL the benefits of a PLATINUM annual pass at sea world orlando and allowa entry into all 10 sea world associated parks with free preferred parking and ride-again priveleges. If you wait until black friday the pass cost me $186 last year and was valid for 14 months…. cost me the same as a 2 day sea world/busch gardens pass!!!
