A New Voice of Hope. Autism Support.
I sat down to write a very inspirational blog post today, but then I prayed. I realized today is a day like few others. It was a day that innocence and souls were lost. We remember Pray & Dedicate ourselves to the memories of those that died, survived & Were left alone on 9/11. When it comes to 9/11 we have a duty to remember, lift up those who sacrificed, Never forget & Never let it happen again. That is what A key date in your memory is supposed to do. Spur you onto action. Keep you on your toes. Ever Vigilant.
I apologize to those who read my writing a a lot, I know to those that follow many tweets, blogs & thoughts are repetitive. To Those of you reading for the first time.. Tanner and our family has its own 9/11. July 4th 2002 Tanner walked in the living room at 9 AM and Said "My name is Tanner. My Name is Tanner" His voice, smile, And gleam of recognition in his eyes were gone. No longer could he speak, Chew, Cross the Road, or wipe his rear end. He had fallen into the depths of Autism. Which may have been the result of the Vaccines right at that time.
Why are these two topics set side by side. This is where the Hope & Inspiration hopefully arrives. Today we are giving Tanner back his voice. Through the miracle of Family Friends Community & The Elks Children Care Corporation has given Tanner a Chance for a new voice. I thought it was appropriate to introduce it to him on this day. They gave him a new ipad and the ProLoQuo2Go Software. This is a brand new voice assistive program that works by touching pictures.
Through years of hard work at school. Not so much hard work at home ( That was my wife's comment in my mind ) Tanner is able to communicate basics by taking us by the hand and using a picture exchange system. I know ( Have faith) that he will be able to touch the pictures and gain his voice back
So today you join us on the journey. It is with so many emotions that I begin this journey. Hope, Pride, Joy, anticipation, Regret, humbleness, Thankfulness, Gratitude, inspiration, perspiration, and many more. I am using the old sports technique of watching Tanner in my mind... May I have some juice please.... I just have to change the voice from that sexy young woman's voice.... Anybody know how?
Hope & Prayers for all families dealing with Autism or involved in 9/11.

What can you do today...
If you are a parent... Love your child unconditionally. Do not let your child feel they are any less because they cannot communicate the way we do or look after themselves. Do not forget to look after yourself and your significant other. ( If you don't have one find one...There is someone out there for everyone. You deserved to be loved also). Join a church. Speak to your friends. Keep up the good fight.
If you are Friend... If you have resources please consider supporting Generation Rescue as they move the agenda towards services and support programs. If you do not have financial resources provide respite services... Babysit, go with a parent to the grocery store, or running errands. Be there to listen.
If you are in the medical community it is time to wake up and do something...
If you are in the insurance industry it is time to make the people responsible pay...
if you are in the media it time to tell the truth...
If you are in the government it is time act...
If you are in education it is time to educate...
If you are in a religious community it is time to rally the troops to support families...
