Aaron is my sweet and funny boy, He is currently about to be 4 years old. When Aaron was barely 2 years of age he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder/ POD NOS. I adore my baby boy, it was heartbreaking to learn that he would never live a normal life. I live in Mulberry Florida, where they dont have a significant amount of help for children on the spectrum. It has been a constant struggle. He cant call me 'mommy' and on rare occation does he even look me in the eyes. Aaron is audio sensitive, so with stress comes the covering of the ears, rocking,flapping,running. Its so hard to keep him still long enought to give my son a hug. Speading Autism awareness is important. There are so many people in this world that simply dont undetstand. There have been many occations where i am judged and ridiculed in public. For having him in a stroller, or parking in handicapped parking. Awareness is so important, please support the cause. And pray for Aaron and all the children like him that are living threw the struggle.
