💙🧩 MISSION MONDAY 🧩💙

At Autism Awareness of Southeast Missouri, our mission is simple: listen, learn, and advocate for the needs of families in our community.

Every family faces challenges that aren’t always visible to others. Some are practical. Some are emotional. Some are things they’ve never had the opportunity to talk about.

Today, we’re listening.

Take a moment to look at the graphic and tell us:

💭 What is the biggest challenge your family faces right now?

📍 Please include your city or county if you’re comfortable sharing.

Your voice matters, and your feedback helps us better understand the needs of families throughout Southeast Missouri. 💙

How do you know 1+1=2, but NOT that you + toilet = poo?🤣

Parenting a child on the spectrum is a daily reminder that development doesn’t follow a straight line. My 5-year-old can do addition and subtraction, remembers things that happened months ago, and constantly amazes me with how smart she is. Yet we’re still working on potty training, and some days that means cleaning p**p off the floor instead of celebrating another milestone.

I often find myself looking at her and thinking, “How do you know 1+1=2, but NOT that you + toilet = poo?” Autism is full of these contradictions—remarkable strengths mixed with challenges that don’t always make sense to the outside world. Some days are hard, some days are hilarious, and some days are both at the same time. No matter what, I’m proud of my little girl and all the progress she makes on her own timeline. ❤️

🚨 OOPS! TECHNICAL ISSUES 🚨

Some families may have received a call or text from us today. Unfortunately, our online waitlist is not cooperating and we are experiencing technical difficulties.

If you are interested in attending the Family Sensory-Friendly Swim Evening, please send us a direct message and we will let you know if tickets are still available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this issue. 💙

💦 UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming interest, we have opened a waitlist for this year's Family Sensory-Friendly Swim Evening at Cape Splash!

We are limiting the waitlist to approximately 50 additional individuals. Families must have an autism diagnosis to participate. I will have to manually approve the tickets.

Please be mindful when reserving tickets so that as many families as possible have the opportunity to attend this special event.

👉 Join the waitlist here: https://Familyswim.eventbrite.com

Thank you for helping us create an inclusive and sensory-friendly experience for autism families in our community. 💙

Sensory-friendly family swim night at Cape Splash Family Aquatic Center. Calm, inclusive fun with reduced noise and crowds. Join us!
