After my post about Autism Awareness last month, I was overwhelmed by awesome comments and emails- thank you! I’m excited to share projects, ideas, guest posts throughout April. It won’t be every day, but hopefully enough to shed more light on this baffling disorder that affects so many people just like my family.
TODAY is World Autism Awareness Day. To show our support, my family is wearing blue. Will you join us?
Kristy from SoSoBella Designs was one of the people who contacted me after my post. She had designed an awesome necklace for an autism momma. She asked if she could give TWO away!? Yay! Find out more about SoSoBella Designs: site, blog, Facebook.

I have to say that the parents of children with autism or on the spectrum are the most deserving. Lovely necklace for exhausted parents!

Mique,
I am not here for the necklace I am here because of you.
You are such an inspiration to me as a woman, friend and mother.
I love you dearly and I just wanted to let you know how much I respect you as a person and how awesome you are.
Anyways, in this special day I send you hugs!
See you in two weeks…♥
I have a 25 year old daughter who has autism and I would proud to be able to wear this necklace in honor of people with autism. The past 25 years have had many ups and downs dealing with my daughters emotions. My biggest wish is that people would be kinder to people with disabilities. Very heart breaking to be a parent and watch people laugh and stare at some one with disabilities. In my eyes, my daughter is a gift from God and that I was choosen to be her mom. God Bless
Susan
This is such a wonderful cause. Awareness and compassion is so important. I would love a chance to win that necklace!
What a beautiful necklace!! Love all the support for those who have been touched by someone with autism (me & my twin boys thank you all)!
We light it up blue all month :) I hang a big banner on our tree and blue xmas lights on our porch. We represent! Hehe! Our 11 yr old has autism and I’m proud as always to show the blue.
I would LOVE to win this! I’ve been looking for something not too flashy to wear and this is beautiful.
Thank you for being transparent and sharing about your life. I too have a son on the spectrum. There are days when I need to be reminded of the compassion that was shown to me by God. Thanks for the chance to win!
What a beautiful necklace. We deal with Autism in our home every day. Compassion really is the key.
love it! I enjoy reading all about your son. I have a son who is the same age and also on the spectrum.
Beautiful necklace! And compassion. Bang on! I think most parents could benefit from a little extra every now and then. Particularly those dealing with the challenges of a child on the Autism spectrum. I myself, don’t have an Autistic child, but know a few who do. I am so thankful for the support and community so readily available to parents that the internet (and awesome blogs like this) provide!
Love the necklace, and would love to wear it to honor my son.
I adore this necklace, I think we need to be more aware of autism!
Beautiful necklace! I’d love to win this for a dear friend of mine who has 2 autistic kids who she does all she can for. She is an amazing mother!
As the Mom with a son with Autism Spectrum Disorder, I would be honoured to wear a compasson necklace. I’ve been looking for one but, they’re not easy to find here in Canada. We have changed our exterior lightbulbs however, and have taken our part to “Light it Up Bllue” for Autism Awareness. Thank you too for blogging about it.
The necklace is beautiful and Im so happy that more attention is being brought to this difficult situation both parents and children find themselves in. With hope and determination we can find help for families
What a beautiful necklace! And a beautiful way to show your love for someone with autism. My 5 year old daughter has autism. Even though she is barely on the spectrum and is considered high-functioning, it definitely can still be a struggle. I have so much respect for all parents and children who are affected by this baffling disorder.
