#EverydayAutism Photo-a-day Instagram Challenge {March 2014}

March 1, 2014 by Lisa 2 Comments

Autism Awareness Month may be every April but for us and for other Atypical Familia’s Autism Awareness is every single day and month of the year. Some people question if Autism Awareness month is necessary. I think it is, but that’s a post all on its own.  
Since I love Instagram and am always up for a challenge – I thought I’d put together this #EverydayAutism challenge leading into April to show social media that for all of our kids differences, there are also many similarities.
This is my first photo-a-day challenge. And I’m excited to see what others share. You don’t have to take the challenges so literally. Just share something – anything – that you think represents your child, the daily challenge and your #EverydayAutism.
So…how do you play along? 
Instagram would be ideal and when you post your picture use the #EverydayAutism. If you have an Instagram account, feel free to follow me @laliquin. No worries if you don’t. If you have a Twitter account, tweet your photo with #EverydayAutism. I’ll be following the hashtag on Twitter too. 
And if you don’t use Instagram or Twitter, that’s fine too. You can still participate. Share this post and your photos on Facebook and let your friends and family know you’re participating. And if you want me to see your pictures – feel free to share them on my Facebook page.
Here’s my 1st photo of the #EverydayAutism challenge –

I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally got to skate in them for real. ā€œWhy do my skates feel funny?ā€ I wondered. I assumed it was because I’m not used to roller skates. So I spent the first 15 minutes skating with my skates on the wrong feet šŸ™„šŸ˜šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø but once I fixed them - skating was a little bit easier. 🤣🤣
When the student becomes the teacher… I got to w When the student becomes the teacher… I got to workout with one of my (favorite) former students this morning! From the moment I met her 2 years ago, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. In the classroom, she is enthusiastic, bright, confident and strong. But at the gym she’s next level! Mel really pushed me today and I know I’ll feel it tomorrow. It wasn’t easy keeping up with this 19 year old. I held my own up until she said 20 minutes on the stair master after our work out. I lasted 5 minutes and then did 15 on the elliptical. 🫠🫠 And obviously we needed a quick locker room photo shoot. 🤣 Also…I don’t know if it’s the angle or the lighting but I can’t believe my arms/back look like that! 😳🄹

Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaq Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaquino on the 6 train. By page 5, I had to close the book and take a minute to absorb the words on the page. Ok ok ok, I also may have begun tearing up a bit. I love when a book makes me feel. There are times when I come across a book, and the words are exactly what I need at that precise moment. This is that book, this is the time. ā€œThe only way out for you is through.ā€ šŸ¤

He sent me a video at 7am - fully dressed in his uniform for his 1pm game - and a text saying he was disappointed. šŸ˜•  It’s after 12 and he’s still in his uniform.

After class flex. This month I hit my ā€œgoalā€ w After class flex. This month I hit my ā€œgoalā€ weight and for the first time since before Norrin was born, I’m wearing a size 6 jean. Does it feel good? Yes. It does. But what feels even better is that I feel strong. Stronger than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Thanks for an amazing class @freelikeoj_allday & @tiabrooks_0106 for always offering to take a picture.

Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summe Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summer clothes. I found 3 dresses that I’ve had forever - probably 15 years. They were probably only worn once. I held on to them, even though I couldn’t fit into them. Because I knew one day, I would fit into them again. Over the last 2 years, I’ve lost some weight but they still didn’t fit last summer. When I tried them on this week, they fit! I haven’t been able to fit into these dresses in more than a decade. And so yesterday I put on the blue dress. I didn’t go anywhere spectacular. I wasn’t on a date. I visited a friend in the neighborhood, went to a meeting and then White Castle (don’t judge me). When I first bought this dress and when it fit, I held on to it - waiting for an occasion. I refuse to do that. I’m not waiting for a man to take me out, or a party or an event. If I want to wear something, I will wear it. I am the special occasion. I am the event. I am worth getting dressed up for. 

Also - I realize that holding on to clothing for 15 years hoping it will fit again is probably not normal. But oh well. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤£
