We were so Blessed in Oct 2006 when our precious grandson Dayton was born. Little did I know how much this little boy would teach me. He was diagnosed with Autism when he was 2. His parents were saddened cause they didnt know much about Autism. Well I am here to tell you that Autism is JOY! This young man brightens each and every day of our lives. He is still non verbal but he speaks so well with his eyes and expressions. I have learned to go into his world. It is so fascinating! I tell his parents to trust in the Lord as the Lord trusted in them to be the best parents for him. He has sensory issues but we will get through them. He is so very smart and knows everything. I swear he reads everything! When he notices words he takes his little hand and follows all the words from top to bottom. I pray for him each and every day that his speech will come.
The state in which we live does not recognize Autism as a disability so help is very limited. It is up to us to teach him and mold him. We are TEAM DAYTON! He is the most loving innocent little guy I have every met.
We all took a family vacation to the beautiful state of Colorado and there he noticed the moon for the first time! The joy that little boy had was tremendous! He made me see the moon differently! He helps me see all things differently!...for the better! He has made me a better person. Your granny loves you so much! I praise the Lord for Blessing me so big! God Bless all the families who are touched by Autism.
