Mother of child with autism says understanding condition is key to coping with it

Here is the story Ashley Reynold's did about our family. Really well done. I am so impressed with her and really proud of my kids!

Hot Dog Palace

Ozark South Elementary Hot Dog Palace is today. Where the 2nd grade class makes the gym into a huge restaurant. Zion is the drink man. He has been memorizing the five drinks that he will offer, for a week. Jason and I of course, have been trying to get different reactions and have asked him if he was going to serve everything from grape soda to liquid metal. It is always something that isn't on his list. He looks at us like we are crazy. I then tell him how to respond.

This morning, Jason said he was going to order a root beer, and Zion rolled his eyes and said, "Sorry Sir, that is not an option!" He finally got that we were joking and it was a marvelous moment. He got the joke and responded appropriately. It was awesome.

We will probably just order what is on the list. Diet Coke, Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper or Water (I even know the options).
