A Night To Shine - Tim Tebow Foundation Sponsored Prom - E8

This was a beautiful night aimed at making our special needs community feel included and valuable! The Tim Tebow Foundation has done a great job of making this happen all around the world!

Our local Ultra Accessible Theme Park, Morgan's Wonderland hosted the event in their beautiful facility. We are grateful for such loving people in our community.

I'd love to send out a special very big THANK YOU to Luke's buddy for the night, Donna. She helped to make Luke feel included and excited to be out on the dance floor.

Another big THANK YOU to Tremain (Instagram @tremaintheman ) for talking with Luke and helping him get that amazing photo at the end with the group of pretty girls!

When Luke was he was diagnosed with FOXG1. We don't know yet what all that means... This is our journey.

Life with Luke is always full of surprises and challenges. Sometimes it's fun, funny and full of adventure. Other times it's frustrating and sad. I hope to show you an honest view of what it's like to live with a special person like Luke.

Our son Luke has always been special. When he was a baby he was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms. Beyond that the doctors never really could explain Luke except to use the label "Autistic". The term Autism always felt generic and empty.

Now with a new diagnosis and a real reason for Luke's unique challenges we can look forward to learning more and connecting with others.

November is FOXG1 awareness month. Please check out http://www.foxg1.com/ for more information about this interesting genetic mutation.
