Meet the Amazing Austin!!!

My son has autism, autism does NOT have my son!!! He is wonderful, hard headed, silly, smart, loving, hard headed, and AMAZING, did I mention a little hard headed? I love this brown eyed boy to the stars and back, he doesn't play like other kids, so what? He wanted Guy Fieri's cookbook for his 8th birthday, he will not watch a 'kids' movie with me, but he can tell you everyone's name on the Food Network, he loves to pray and thank Jesus for his friends! Austin is the best 'snuggle buddy' in the world!! He still LOVES Barney the dinosaur, school buses and horses. He loves to eat collards, cabbage and M&M's not at the same time, ofcourse!, He is AWESOME and brave, we fight the monster called autism everyday with the help of his WONDERFUL teachers, our family and most of all GOD!! One day we will chase that monster back into the closet, but until then, we are fighting with Austin hand in hand every step of the way, together!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
