    Weekend Warriors #14





    Click Here to see how it works:

    There are no rules...(feel free to post an old or new post!)
    This meme is for both Special Needs and Non-Special Needs Families
    Educate yourself and your children about ours
    this will run through the whole weekend
    (Friday evening posted by 9pm PST
    thru Noon Monday, PST )
    so that Special Needs Families
    will have time to participate..
    we never know what any day is going to be like..

    This weeks Questions:
    (you do not have to answer questions, 
    link whatever post you'd like)

    Are there Holiday Events geared 
    towards Special Needs Persons?
    How does a Sensory Sensitive Adult or Child 
    spend 4th of July?


    My Post
    (I chose to answer the Question)
     
    I wear him out so that he's passed out sleeping by the time the loud events begin. I stay home with him and the older children spend the holiday with friends and family.
    I haven't found events geared to my Special Needs child.  I have a Sensory Sensitive Child and I do daytime activities. He likes the hustle and bustle of outside but the dark, flashing, and loud bangs are overwhelming. 
    So, I find a kids activity in my neighborhood, 
    and make it a Special Needs event.

    My Neighborhood Event:

    How I've turned it into our Event:
    (Facebook link, and my new FB page I created)


    Tafari & I will meet 
    with other Spectrum Families
    to Ride for Autism!

    Quote of the day:

    There are things I can't force. I must adjust. 
    There are times when the greatest change needed 
    is a change of my viewpoint. 
    ~Denis Diderot

    We don't celebrate the 4th of July in the UK, but as a family we do, as it's the day that our older daughter arrived in our home. It's not the legal adoption day, but the day she arrived as a 10 month old baby to live with us.

    Now that's worth celebrating right? She's now a beautiful 15 year old. :)

    Thanks so much for linking me...with Jenn's picture! LMAO! I laughed so hard when I saw that, but no big deal. Hahaha. I know you're busy.

    That was actually my issue too. I had to work yesterday, so I was all over the place. I was so concerned with getting it written, that I COMPLETELY forgot to link!

    Thanks again!
