We can not express enough, how grateful we are for all of the support that our family and friends have shown us through our Autism journey. When I first heard the words "he has an Autism Spectrum Disorder" I was confused, devistated, and desperate for our little boy. Today, as I have watched him grow from a boy who said 4 words at 2 to a 2 1/2 year old who says hundreds of words, from a child who watched car wheels spin, to a boystirous kid who loves to play with his friends, I have found great hope. Thank you for standing by us and cheering us along. I know we still have a long lifetime road ahead of us, Boston still has challenges, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel now. It is with this steadfast faith and hope to change that I ask you to join us in The Walk for Autism on May 2nd at 10am at Utah Valley University. The walk supports the organization Autism Speaks which raises funds for ongoing research and awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorders.
We welcome anyone who would like to join our team, Boston's Buddies, and walk with us. If you can donate even a dollar we are so grateful. Also, if you own a company and want to help sponsor our T-shirts leave me a comment and I'll give you the details on how you can help out. Please check out our team page and help us cheer Boston on!
Please sign up to join our team as soon as possible so I can get t-shirts made up. You can sign up at the link below and you don't have to donate money to join the team.

You are such an inspiration, Carly...we'll see what we can do to be there!
I would love to join in too. Let me know more info.
I am sad that we are going to be out of town, we would have loved to participate
Carly,
I wish we lived close so that we could walk with you guys. We would totally be there...
Love you!
We are excited to come up for the walk. It will be great, we love you BOSTON!
We are in!!! Let me know what I can do to help!!!
You are amazing! You have our support! We do need to get together and have our girls meet!
Hey! You are so nice! Yes, I have to give Cassius Melatonin. (Thanks goodness for it!) He would decide to start his day 3 in the morning for months! I go to GNC and get the cherry chewable 1 mg tablets and it works great!! Are you going to the Autims Speaks walk? I am going, but am have not even come close to my fundraising goal. :-( I would rather have people that I know and are willing to donate money donate to local acengies like the Scottish Rite. Have you heard about the speech therapy program they offer for FREE? It's great! So Bouncin' of the Walls is the second Tuesday of every month and it's $5 bucks to get in. It's a room with blow up slides and other blow up stuff for them to run around to do. Plus, there are tons of parents there to network with. I have been a few times and I look forward to it every month to talk to other parents. Well, I love reading your blog too! I need to get on here more. Are you going to have another moms group? I would still love to go! Well, talk to you soon!
