Mariah has a spirit all her own. Ever since she learned 2walk at 9months she's had her own lil dance cuz it's so hard 4 her 2 just sit still. She was diagnosed w/ Autisum when she was 2 almost 3 n still speaking gibberish. She's now 4 n has come so far. She's now almost speaking in full sentences, she's no longer afraid of strangers, but she's still a very picky eater, she's not potty trained yet but very interested in it, n she still dances around all day until she passes out lol. Mariah has showed us how 2 b patient, understanding, compassionate, n how 2 love unconditionally. We also kno she'll 1 day be a functioning member of society n do something amazing! She's got a smile that lights up a room n the first time she said "goodnight mama", I cried like a giant baby. She is our only daughter making her our little autistic princess that's so beautiful when she dances "Mariah's Dance." She's changed our lives in a beautiful sometimes challenging way but I wouldn't hav it any other way. She's an Autistic Angel n we love her more than anyone would or could ever kno. ♥♥♥
