National Train Day @ Union Station

Today we took Matthew to Union Station in D.C. for National Train Day. Amtrak provided magic shows, arts & crafts, and live music for the kids. Matthew had fun watching the model trains and received a goody bag with lots of neat stuff including a commemorative wooden train whistle.

What Is Autism?

"Autism is a neurological disorder that often interferes with a person's ability to communicate with and relate to others. Signs of autism almost always develop before a child is 3 years old. Typically, parents first become concerned when they notice that their toddler does not begin to talk or does not respond and interact like other children. Autism also affects how a child perceives and processes sensory information. The severity of autism varies. Some individuals need assistance in almost all aspects of their daily lives, while others are able to function at a very high level and can even attend school in a regular classroom. While this is a lifelong condition, early diagnosis and treatment can make a major difference."
