More Light It Up Blue

My granddaughter sent me these picturess of her take on "Light It Up Blue For Autism". I was thrilled she was participating in this event that means so much to me! She said when she grows up she wants to be a research scientist and find a cure for autism. This would be a dream come true for me and for my grandchild to make such a discovery, would be even more awesome.

BEST EVER LIGHT AND FLUFFY DINNER ROLLS

BEST EVER LIGHT AND FLUFFY DINNER ROLLS

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package dry yeast
1 1/2 cups hot tap water
1 egg
1/3 cup softened butter or vegetable shortening (I used margarine today)

Sift together two cups of the flour with the sugar, and stir in the yeast. With mixer at low speed, blend shortening or butter into the flour mixture. Add the hot water (the hottest it comes from your tap, all at once, with mixer running. Add the egg, and continue mixing.
Add in the remaining two cups flour to make a soft dough.
(At this point, I changed my mixer beaters for dough hooks and let the mixer knead the dough for about ten minutes and then put it into an oiled bowl to rise.)
OR YOU CAN DO IT THIS WAY.
Knead lightly on a floured board and shape into a ball. Put into an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled, about two hours. Punch dough down. At this point it can either be refrigerated or shaped in rolls or loaves and allowed to rise a second time until doubled. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven until barely brown. May be frozen after baking and reheated to serve.

I am so happy I was able to get the Autism Awareness Bear for my son from Build A Bear. I had called my local store and was told there was a limited supply so I decided I would try to get it online. I found it online and even found a $10 off code. It shipped quick and came in the cutest box.



The bear is ao cute in his Autism Awareness tshirt, jeans, and sneakers.



And, as you can see my son was so happy and excited to get the Autism Awareness Build A Bear.

My 1 in 50

Updated 2021



April is Autism Awareness Month and tomorrow is World Autism Awareness Day. I feel like I ought to say something profound. The truth is, I live with autism every day. It is "normal" to me. The CDC says the numbers are 1in 50 school-age kids now. So, maybe it will be "normal" to you soon too. Those of you who have met my son know that he is not a statistic. He is a CHILD. an ADULT. Zachary is a beautiful little boy young man who happens to be autistic. He is funny and sweet and has overcome more in the past few years than most people do in a lifetime. He doesn't speak very well, but he communicates in very creative ways. He struggles every day to do things such as eating a meal, grip a pencil, and brush his hair. But, he never gives up. And he has taught me more than I will ever teach him. Tomorrow is just another day for us--we try to make the world aware every day. Next step? Acceptance.

I wrote this in 2013 and it is now 2021.   Zachary is now 18.  While some things have improved, some things remain the same.  My son is non-verbal.  That means he does not talk.  He is a senior in high school.  He has made great strides academically and scored REALLY WELL on the same tests they gave other 11th graders.  I was blown away. 

But, Zachary will never get his driver's license, he will never be able to live on his own.  But, that is okay.  He is still the smart, loving, funny person he always was.  He loves to dance and he loves the beach!

There is no medication that will "cure" him.  He has his good days and he has his bad days, just like the rest of us.  But, the stigma is still there.  People stare.  People glare.   But, I surround him with people who care.  He has a loving family and a wonderful teacher(SHOUT OUT to Mrs. Christie Berry).

I will never stop advocating for him!





Here is Zachary today:



This picture was taken before I even had a clue what autism was:




Please bring awareness to autism. This is my 1 in 50!
