The world as we knew it changed on 9/11, pretty much like the world as you know it changes when you have a child. They… View Post

Autism Awareness

15 Aug

Autism is something that never really touched my life, I knew nothing of its effects on people lives, I couldn’t comment on the subject and I was always blind to how common it actually is and the enormously wide scale in which it graces people’s lives. Please don’t take offence of my ignorance, I’m learning.

He then made some fairy cakes and decorated them  to make a centrepiece dessert 🌸🧁
