Stressful September
Well, I am so very excited that September is on it’s last day! I rarely write on Ruthfulness about topics that don’t relate directly to education, access and advocating for autism and early intervention. But, we are one year in! Happy Anniversary to Ruthfulness.

Sensory Friendly Movies
Saturday, I took the kids to see their first movie! We went to a sensory friendly movie at a Cobb Luxury Theater. It was full of experience for sure. I called to confirm about the sensory friendly environment after finding out from my ABA therapist. It was advertised to have lower volume, more light and…
Enjoy the Journey
