Most importantly, I am a mother: to Jess – an adult with multiple disabilities including autism and cortical vision impairment, to a son in his final year of Neurology Residency, and to a daughter who is an American Sign Language Interpreter. In 2015, I began blogging as a way to tell Jessica’s story. It is a way that her voice can be heard, and that we can spread her joy. It wasn’t long before I realized that blogging is therapeutic for me and allows me to connect to many wonderful people. The many supportive and encouraging messages that I receive from our followers fuel my sense of purpose. My biggest goal with blogging is to take some of the mystery out of what it will be like when special needs children grow into special needs adults. I want to let others know that this life can be good – fulfilling and rewarding. Read more... https://autisticinterpretations.com/about-me/

Hi friends 😊 We’ve been quietly focusing on life, health, wellness, and slowing down a bit these past months. We’ve missed sharing little moments with y’all, and thought our Disney trip might be a fun place to start popping back in here and there again. ❤️

Jess usually prefers not to dip *any* food in any kind of sauce or condiment. On rare occasions, such as this one, we are able to encourage her to give it a try. She enjoyed these chips with a *tiny* bit of salsa! 😁

Always working on independence! Nuggets are one of the few things Jess can make independently.

Weekends are for cooking! 😁 In addition to our usual biscuits and gravy, yesterday we made smash burgers with sourdough bread and homemade fries! The meal was so good I couldn’t stop eating it to get pictures 😅. What have you been cooking this weekend?

It’s my birthday! I was so shocked and happy when I arrived back to my surprise party with friends and family! ❤️ I also learned that I share a birthday with Elmo! 😂
