For the first time ever, Jess was excited about going to try on clothes! Jess is an autistic blind adult and has never had an interest in clothes shopping… until now! In the past, going to pick out and try on clothes was something that Jess dreaded and caused her to get frustrated and exhausted. While necessary, the experience would make us exhausted, too, and when buying things for her without her there, there is always the risk of things not fitting. This time, Jess went out with Hannah and Marlow, and they all had a great time! Jess was excited and enthusiastic about picking things out, and tried on every item we picked! This was an incredible experience and example of her progress and maturity.
Welcome to our page! We are an atypical family dedicated to sharing a joyful life alongside things like autism, blindness, complex medical histories, and mental health disorders. We hope to take some of the mystery out of what it is like when special needs children grow into special needs adults. This life can be good. Beyond challenges and frustrations we find even more joy, entertainment, laughs and good times.
