It's World Autism Awareness Day. Many of you know our Hugo. He's 5 and on the milder side of the Spectrum. The story behind this picture and the scarf is a tantrum that started when he didn't want to leave the house, didn't want to put on his shoes, didn't want the car, didn't want to sit, didn't want to go shop for Legos but then wanted Legos. There was a lot of screaming. Making for a tough car ride. He eventually said "I want scarf!" And you know, if it takes mom's scarf to calm yourself, YOU ROCK THAT SCARF HUGO! This picture is of the calm after the storm. Glad I caught it, because it's a moment of connection with a boy who has made great strides in communication and socializing.
