LIVE NOW - NO OPPORTUNITIES WASTED!!! LIVE in the NOW!

Every day more and more children in South Africa are born with Autism.



Cullen was born 15 September 2006...



Children with Autism dont show emotion, dont make eye contact, dont play, dont interact, often have problems with Speech and fine motor control...



Cullen continues to challenge himself and conquer all of this...



The Challenge - SPEECH and FINE MOTOR CO-ORDINATION, MORE PLAY, MORE INTERACTION...







Follow our journey, our challenge, our triumph, our lives...

its GROWING BACK!!!! No its not like eye brows!!!

ITS GROWING BACK!!!!!
Horsie's hair on his head - his patchie...
It has little razor hairs growing thru...
THANK GOODNESS its not like some women's eye brows.

I mean my mom plucked her eye brows (or should I say OVER plucked)...
And well they didn't grow back...
so here I am... a mommy very HAPPY to have a tuft of hair the size of two R5 coins to start to grow back again...

WEIRD...what makes you happy these days...
Today its a tuft of hair that was literally ripped from my horsie's head a few weeks ago while he went round and round on a indoor swing in the OT room at school...could  have happened to any BOY...he is a boy...my horsie not just the face of autism.

Tomorrow it may be...happiness due to our horsie saying "doo doo" to sleep or finishing no less than 5 tasks his task master speechie (speech therapist) set him today, normally only doing 2.

Yesterday it could have been the fact that he basked in his new "cars" bed being put at his nana's house - as if he knew just how special he is and just how grown up he is - that he now has his own "BIG BOY" bed...he climbed into it smiling from ear to ear...excited and rapt by this bed...mommy even had to get on the bed and hold horsie...enveloping him with my love, my touch, my deep pressure.

You see its these TINY TINY things that make our day...make us smile...make us realise...

That yes its small...BUT THERE IS PROGRESS...

From the smallest tuft of hair growing...to the gleam of our Horsie's eye - filled with pride in his OWN sense of accomplishment - his VERY OWN BED!!!
