WE’RE OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT! 🎉

We can hardly believe it! Our very first Fun Run for Autism is officially at capacity, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

From the moment registration opened, you’ve shown up, shared the event, built teams, started fundraising, and helped us turn this little idea into something so much bigger than we imagined.

On September 13, we’ll have an incredible community coming together at Gold Bar Park to walk, run, and have fun while raising funds to support inclusive and accessible programs for Autistic individuals and their families.

A huge thank you to everyone who registered and helped spread the word. And to our amazing sponsors, donors, volunteers, and supporters, thank you for helping make this day possible.

Now the countdown is ON!

September 13. Gold Bar Park. We’ll see you at the finish line!

Trying To Publicly With My Children With Disabilities

Calling out someone’s abusive behaviour is not as simple as telling people what they did to you.

It is not about producing a receipt for their friends who demand evidence. It is not about handing over every detail of what happened so other people can decide whether your experience was legitimate. Because when you refuse, they may call you a liar.

And honestly, I would rather be called a liar than hand over everything I have only to be told why the violation of my boundaries was somehow my fault.

When someone deconstructs your words, syllable by syllable, looking for a reason to dismiss what happened, there is no amount of evidence that will ever be enough. Every fact becomes something to debate. Every boundary becomes something to explain. Every detail becomes an opportunity to ask what you could have done differently.

That is part of the problem.

A woman should not have to build a courtroom case just to have people respect that she was violated.

And when that behaviour is disguised behind a culture of Christ-like compassion, it can become even harder to challenge. Compassion becomes a shield. People can tell themselves they were only helping, only caring, only concerned, while completely ignoring whether their behaviour was actually wanted.

My children and I deserve privacy in every setting, regardless of your religion, your beliefs, or your intentions.

Yes, I could tell people that you never introduced yourself while taking information about me from the back of the line.

I could tell people that you never asked permission to involve yourself in our lives.

I could tell people that you later used information you obtained from a nursery.

But does any of that actually matter?

I never asked for your help.

You saw struggles. They were struggles to you. They were not necessarily struggles that I needed you to intervene in. This was my normal daily life. You saw a snapshot of my family and autism and decided you understood enough to involve yourself.

My family does not exist to make you feel closer to God.

My child does not exist to become an example through which you can demonstrate compassion.

And my child's disability is not something you get to discuss with other people so you can tell them how badly you felt for me.

You did not learn the lesson of basic human decency:

Stay out of people's business when they have not invited you into it.

And when I refused to give your friends my "receipts," you chose to call me a liar.

So I chose my path too.

I would rather be called a liar than become someone who deserves the cruelty of having every private part of my life dissected just to make other people comfortable with what they did to me.

My Husband Was In The Hospital Last Night. He Is Fine, And On His Way To Healing

While At The Hospital The Nurses Were Asking How I Was?
..I Was At Home With The Kids.

I Have Chronic Health Conditions. However Due To New Medication I Am No Longer At The Hospital All The Time.

And The Fact The Nurses Wanted To Know How I Was Doing Was So Sweet 🥰🥰

Seven leading autism organizations join together to call for extending the public comment period on the draft IACC Strategic Plan from 4 days to 90 days.

The IACC Strategic Plan helps shape the nation's priorities for autism research, services, and policy. A four-day public comment period is simply not enough time for autistic people, families, researchers, clinicians, service providers, and other stakeholders to thoughtfully review a complex, 300+ page document and provide meaningful feedback.

A 90-day comment period would promote broad public participation and help ensure the final Strategic Plan reflects the needs and priorities of the autism community.
