A little photo dump from our Sensory Sunday fun! 💙💚🥰

Because you KNOW I couldn’t let these sweet moments stay in my camera roll! 😂

From painting and playing to exploring and making memories, I absolutely LOVE seeing our Ausome babies enjoying themselves and having a GOOD time!

And can we talk about how much fun these little ones were having?! 🥹 It’s the smiles, the creativity, and those precious little moments that make days like this so special!

As an Ausome Mom, these are the memories I love capturing. Watching our children discover new things, enjoy different activities, and simply experience the joy of being kids!

Sending so much love and appreciation to Ms. Tonya Newberry, Autism Branches (Tonya Newberry ), and The Playpad for making Sensory Sunday such a wonderful experience for our families! 💙💚

More days like this, PLEASE!! 🥰

Just an Ausome Mom and her boys making memories! 💙💜🥰

I had to share a few of my favorite snapshots from the Morris Brown College Homecoming Parade because, at the end of the day, it’s moments like these with my sons that I cherish the most!

Between my big BLUE hair 😂, all the excitement, and spending time with my boys, we had ourselves a GOOD time!

And I absolutely loved seeing the children representing MSC Xceptional Empowerment Children’s Program! There’s something so special about watching our young people come together, enjoy themselves, and make memories.

A special shoutout to Ms. Kimberly (Kim Dassey-dejarnette ) for all the love and effort she put into organizing everything, and to Morris Brown College for the wonderful homecoming celebration! 💙💜

My boys are growing up on me, so you already know this Ausome Mom is going to hold on to every memory she can! 😂🥹

Now THIS is what I love to see!! 💙💜

Autism awareness, community, bubbles, smiles, and so much JOY!! 🥰

Being part of the Morris Brown College Homecoming Parade was such a beautiful experience! As an autism mom, I always say that our children and families deserve to be seen, celebrated, and included in ALL spaces. And moments like these remind me why I love doing what I do!

We don’t always have to be in a classroom, at a conference, or hosting an event to spread autism awareness. Sometimes it’s as simple as showing up, having fun, and allowing our communities to see that autism is part of our world, too! 💙

A HUGE thank you to Ms. Kim Dassey-dejarnette for organizing and putting this together and to Morris Brown College (Morris Brown College ) for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful celebration! We truly appreciate you! 💜

More awareness. More acceptance. More opportunities for our Ausome families to be part of the FUN!! 🚶🏾‍♀️

Motivational Monday 💙

When my son Jaylon was diagnosed with autism, I never imagined where this journey would take us. I was simply a mother trying to understand, learn, and make sure my child had everything he needed to thrive.

Over time, that purpose grew beyond our home. What began as advocating for my son became a calling to stand alongside other autism families and help make sure their voices, needs, and experiences are represented.

Being part of the Autism Speaks Advocacy Academy is another step in that journey. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn how to advocate for meaningful change not only here in Georgia, but on a national level as well.

Thank you, Autism Speaks and Autism Speaks Georgia, for giving advocates like me the opportunity to learn, grow, and bring the stories of our families into spaces where decisions are being made.

Jaylon will always be my why. But today, I advocate with so many more families on my heart. 💙

One family can inspire a mission. Many families can create change.

Truth be told… walking into your child’s IEP meeting can feel overwhelming.

As parents, we sometimes wonder if we’re asking the right questions or if our concerns will truly be heard. But here’s what I want every family to remember:

You are your child’s greatest advocate.

An IEP meeting isn’t about proving your child belongs—it’s about creating the support they need to thrive. Your perspective matters because no one knows your child better than you do.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, request clarification, or speak up when something doesn’t feel right. Collaboration between families and schools creates the strongest foundation for success.

At Ausome Life Institute, we believe empowered parents create empowered children. One conversation, one meeting, and one act of advocacy can make all the difference.

💙 Together We Shine Bright.

✨ Save this post before your next IEP meeting and share it with another parent who needs the reminder.

🍎 Motivational Monday

As another school year begins, I want to encourage every autism parent to remember this: your child doesn’t need a perfect parent—they need a prepared one.

Preparation isn’t about having every answer. It’s about creating routines that bring peace, staying organized through the busy moments, and making space for your child to feel safe, supported, and understood.

This week, take time to organize school supplies, review your child’s accommodations, prepare sensory tools, update communication folders, and establish routines that can make each morning a little smoother. These simple acts of preparation can help reduce anxiety, build confidence, and create a stronger foundation for learning.

And while you’re preparing your child, don’t forget to prepare your heart, too. Give yourself grace. There will be good days, challenging days, and unexpected moments—but every effort you make matters.

To every caregiver walking into this new school year: thank you for advocating, planning, showing up, and loving your child so well. Your consistency today is helping shape their confidence for tomorrow.

💙 What is one thing you’re doing this week to help your child have a successful start back to school? Share it in the comments so we can encourage one another!

Truth Be Told Tuesday 💙💛

The truth is… autism caregiving is one of the most beautiful journeys you’ll ever walk, but it’s also one of the most demanding.

Some days, you’re advocating. Some days, you’re celebrating milestones. And some days, you’re simply trying to make it through the day.

For so long, many of us believed that taking time for ourselves meant we were taking time away from our children. But I’ve learned something different.

When we care for ourselves, we don’t love our children less—we love them from a healthier place.

Rest is not weakness.
Asking for help is not failure.
Taking a break is not selfish.

To every autism parent and caregiver reading this: your well-being matters too. You deserve moments to breathe, to heal, and to be poured into, because you cannot continue pouring from an empty cup.

Let’s normalize caring for the caregiver with the same compassion we give to everyone else. 💙

Which reminder did you need to hear most today? Share it in the comments—I know someone else may need it too.

“What do you use on your beautiful hair?” 💜✨

I get asked this question quite often, and one product that’s now become part of my routine is Magical Tresses by Afro Unicorn (Afro Unicorn® ). 🦄

Today was the perfect excuse to pick up another one—not just because I love the product, but because today we’re celebrating the incredible woman behind the brand.

Happy Birthday, April Showers (April Showers ! 🎉 Thank you for being such an inspiration to entrepreneurs, mothers, and families around the world. Your vision has created more than products—it has created representation, confidence, and a reminder to our children that they are wonderfully made.

Truth Be Told Tuesday 🚨💙

Therapy services for autistic children are not a luxury—they are often a necessity. 🌈♾️

Speech therapy, occupational therapy, ABA therapy, physical therapy, behavioral support… these services can play a major role in helping children communicate, regulate, learn, and thrive.

But truth be told, many autism families are one insurance denial, funding cut, or policy change away from losing access to critical care.

When my son was younger, I went into over $40,000 of debt trying to afford therapies because of limited insurance coverage. 💔

And unfortunately, this is not uncommon within the autism community.

Many parents are:
💸 Paying out of pocket for services
📄 Fighting insurance approvals and denials
⏳ Sitting on waitlists for months or years
🚫 Losing access when funding or Medicaid programs change

Recently, Georgia budget vetoes impacted disability and Medicaid-related support programs, raising concerns for families who already struggle to access autism and developmental services. 🚨

The reality is:
when support is delayed or removed, children can lose opportunities for early intervention and families are left carrying emotional, physical, and financial burdens alone.

This conversation is bigger than autism awareness.

It’s about:
✨ Access to care
✨ Affordable therapy services
✨ Disability support funding
✨ Insurance coverage
✨ Early intervention for autistic children
✨ Protecting vulnerable families

No parent should have to choose between debt and getting their child the support they need. 💙❤️♾️

If you’re an autism parent or caregiver navigating therapies, insurance battles, or financial stress—you are not alone. 🌈
