Coming up on tomorrow's blog: Pictures of Lizzie and her BFF enjoying a fun day at Sweet and Sassy (a little girl's salon and dress-up place).
But first, today I have a special treat planned. Sit back and enjoy a little interview Lizzie's mom and I put together. I hope this opens your eyes to just how normal children who are affected by autism really are. Yes, they face struggles that the rest of us do not have to deal with on a daily basis. Yes, they sometimes act differently. But, underneath it all they are precious children who love to learn, play, and spend time with their loved us - just like the rest of us.
