Happy Autistic Pride Day
Autistic Pride Day is celebrated on June 18 each year. It is a day of celebration of people on the Autistic spectrum.
Many families around the world celebrate in a simple way, but there are also numerous public events. There are also gatherings of autistics so that many can communicate together in real time via their computers.
Autistic Pride day is an initiative by Aspies For Freedom. This autism rights group aims to educate the general public with such initiatives to end ignorance of the issues involved within the autistic community.
We are proud in the Wolfond household of our son, Adam. We are overjoyed to celebrate this community and everyone's diversity any day.

Happy Pride!
I mentioned it to our guy this morning and he asked me, "So, do I get a Slurpee?" I guess so. Slurpees all around!
Oh...we need slurpees here in Toronto. Very hot day. Good day for a parade though!
