AUsome Brand Family Day at the Zoo

Now that school’s out and those daily rhythms are flipping upside down, the AUsome crew took a little adventure to the zoo! 🦓🦁 As we kick off this unpredictable summer, we know how wild those schedules can get. Just a little encouragement from us: take it one day at a time and soak up these moments with your kiddos. Summer might be a rollercoaster, but it’s one we’re on together. 💛

Hey everyone — I’m sharing a little video of my 12‑year‑old son. Lately he’s been opening up about past lives, having parents in another life, and even conversations with Jesus and God.

I’m curious… has anyone else’s child on the spectrum ever talked about things like this or shared similar spiritual memories or experiences? I’d love to hear from other families.

Our son participated in the Special Olympics at Michigan State University, rocked the 200m dash, and still served me a side of sass — turned around mid‑run and flipped me off like, “Mom, relax, I got this.” Spectrum life stays wild.

My son gave me a rubber duck for Mother’s Day and listen… my whole heart melted.
He loves rubber ducks. They’re his comfort, his joy, his little world. So for him to hand me something that means so much to him… that’s a different kind of love.

It wasn’t “just a gift.”
It was him saying, in his own way:
“Mom, I’m sharing my happy with you.”

And that means more to me than anything wrapped in a bow.

Mother’s Day hits different when your child gives you a piece of what they treasure most.
I’ll keep this little duck forever.

On our way to get donuts and the kids turned the backseat into full singing like they’re auditioning for something. Meanwhile Little Elias is over there acting way too cool, like he doesn’t even know these people. Here go my crazy family again. Never a dull moment with this crew.

Let's Talk...

Our 12‑year‑old autistic son learned a very valuable lesson today.
Curiosity got the best of him… and he decided he was going to cut his own hair with the clippers.

Let’s just say… he learned QUICK that:
1️⃣ Cutting your own hair is not easy — that takes real skill and practice.
2️⃣ Doing something without asking first is never the move.
3️⃣ Every action has consequences… including having to rock a whole bald spot.

One good thing, he didn’t touch his hairline. I’ve been holding strong on not letting anyone cut my boys’ hairlines until they’re older and can tell me exactly how they want it. I’m not about to have grown men telling me years later that I messed up their hairline. That’s all on them.

My poor boy was SHOOK when he saw that hair fall and that bald spot staring back at him. Lesson learned: don’t touch what isn’t yours… especially your own head with clippers.

Parenting keeps you humble and laughing at the same time.
