Hey ya'll... It is a heat wave here in Saint Louis this week.  We stayed in the cool today and played board games.  My sister Megan likes to play Candy Land, and Hi Ho Cheerio.  I played outside for a few minutes, however it was too hot to stay out too long.  My dad has been working with me on eye contact and it is really helping.  I also have become very attached to my cat Thomas.  I used to not pet him too often, but lately he feels good to me, so I spend a lot of time with him. 

My dad also took up playing guitar again, so I have been getting music therapy everyday.  I love it.  I especially like that all of the hobbies my dad has been taking up, are therapeutic to me.  We had a great Father's Day.  We went to church and then to my Maw Maw and Paw Paw's house.  I love it there, because Maw Maw buys organic bananas and blueberries and I get to eat them even before dinner.  They are my favorite. 

Well I hope everyone stays cool and please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers.  I do have a specific prayer request....

There is a program in Massachussetts called the Son Rise Program.  My parents have been accepted for a scholarship to go and learn how they can help me more.  It is an amazing program.  They have to come up with $1,000 dollars plus travel expenses in order to go and learn about this exciting opportunity.  Check them out on the web at www.autismtreatmentcenter.org.  They really would benefit from it considering my 2 year old brother Caleb, and my 3 year old sister Hannah are also greatly affected by Autism. If you're able to help in anyway please email or call my mom and dad.  They are going to be posting more about it in the days to come. 

Thanks and God Bless,

Clinton xoxo
