I post a lot of happy pictures of Lila on this blog and over on our Facebook page, but please don’t think that means life is easy over here.

Lila is non-verbal and is (at the moment) considered severely affected on the autism spectrum.

I just have not (and WILL not) post pictures or video of Lila when she is upset or having a meltdown. It happens a lot over here – and to each their own – but I feel that would be disrespectful to her to do so.

She works so hard all day, every single day, just to be “okay” in this world.

The blog and Facebook page are meant to chronicle the therapy we’re doing, to chart her progress, and to try to inform and uplift other families along the way if at all possible.

Much love to all of you! ❤
