Two Run Double

Cam in the official uniform on opening day

Cameron walks up to bat.

Bases are loaded.

Quickly, he faces the pitcher, with full count.  Ball is pitched.  He swings.  SMACK.  That ball flies.  Flies to outfield.  His fellow teammates run.  One scores.  The crowd cheers.  Then the next crosses home plate. The crowd roars. The outfielder finally throws the ball to the infield.  Cameron makes it to second base.  He is psyched.  Big smile on his face.

Tis the highlight of his day!

No one would ever guess this was a kid who loved to beat his head against the tile floor or cement ground.  It is so nice to hear the sound of the baseball making contact with a bat instead of Cam’s head against the ground.

Cam and teammates–practice game

Cameron’s team won. 7-2.  Celebration forthcoming!

I am: a) happily married for over 27 years; b) mom to five boys, three diagnosed with autism; c) a home schooling mom; and d) self-employed as a piano teacher. There is no trace of autism on my side or my husband's side of the family tree. Until nine years ago, my youngest four all had disabilities, the youngest three with autism. Five years ago my youngest did not "qualify" for the autism label, rendering him "recovered". My second oldest also "tested" out of his speech delay. My husband and I attribute these successes to the care of many family members and therapists, change in diets, not following mainstream medicine yet listening to medical advice, doing our own research, and most importantly, lots of prayer.
