Amazing and Brilliant Minds...  That is what our children have.  Children on the spectrum have awesome abilities and giftings that are often overlooked and ignored.  We are standing as a body of people on the spectrum or related to people/ children on the spectrum,  believing that amazing and brilliant capabilities are more of a focus than the "disability" label so many put on us.  Many would say it is a question of weather the glass is half empty or half full, but we say the glass is completely …

The vision of Celebrating Today's Family is one of shifting perspectives around desires instead of needs, traditional family roles to the new paradigm of freedom within truly loving relationships, and from a paradigm of "it's broken, let's fix it," to one of "it's perfect just as it is, let's celebrate it." Understanding that it can be a difficult task untangling from the old paradigm of belief systems, Celebrating Today's Family offers support through spiritual counseling, healing and education …

Hi all! When my son was first diagnosed with food allergies it was overwhelming. I decided to create this group for several reasons. First, some of the play groups and events we have participated in aren't "food allergy friendly" and many parents don't understand how serious a food allergy reaction can be. Some people may think children sharing snacks and sippy cups might be insignificant, but to us it can lead to an ER visit.  Second, I thought it would be amazing to meet some other parents who …
