Thank you to all of you who were able to come today for the walk. There were 52 people that came out today and supported Ryan. We wanted to thank all of you who have supported us in this process as we learn to be parents of an Autistic child. Ryan was very excited that everyone was wearing the same shirt. While we are not sure if he knew it was for him, he was excited for the walk today. We don't have a complete tally yet, but we raised over $3500 dollars for this walk. The weather held out and it was actually very sunny and hot down in Purchase, NY today. The weather called for torrential rain and lightning during the time of the walk.
Ryan and Julia did a great job and walked the majority of the way around the campus. We went over to Dawn's grandmother's house to have lunch. Of course we did not prepare for that possibility with food for Ryan but he did great. At one point he saw cookies and asked for his. Dawn told him that they were at home and he would have to wait. The old Ryan would have flipped out and had a huge meltdown. The new Ryan waited until we got home and then asked for his special cookies.
