4thekidz's Bio
 

Hi I am a mother of a 6 year boy Evan. Married for several years. Evan was diagnosed with PDD-NOS when he was about 18months old. He also has sensory based issues, food issues, and behavioral difficulties. I new something was wrong when Evan and I attended our first Gymbore class when he was about a year old. The class was going great until the instructor dumped out a bunch of balls all over the place and Evan went crazy for "ALL" the blue balls. He would look across the gym and see that another child had a blue ball and he took off after that child and knuckled them to the floor until he got the blue ball. We attended the next class and the mothers began to look at me differently and guide their child away from Evan and I. Needless to stay we dropped out of baby Gymbore...LOL.....to this day blue is Evan's favorite color and will flip a nutty if another kid has a blue something or other. Every day is a challenge or a battle but at the end of the day I wouldn't do it any other way.

I send a big thank you to you both. My hat goes of to you and everyone who helped make the Gunstock Inn & Fitness Centers 1st Annual Autism Weekend. Although the outdoor activities didn't go so well due to rain, everything else went very well. I had so many parents thank me for allowing the kids to come. Just as I thought so many clinics, workshops or conferences don't allow the kids. This is about the kids and they belong there too. Once again thanks everyone.

I'm so glad you allowed the kids to come. There's so much exclusion out there, good for you that you allowed them to be included.
