Lexy brightened and added a spark to my life since the moment she was born. I was a single mother, with amazing support from my sister and Mother. 3 Woman and a Little Lady as I called it.
At the age of 14 months Lexy was diagnosed with ASD. Although difficult to hear, I accepted it with Strength and Determination to Keep Moving Forward! Lexy is my only child. We knew she was different when she would line things up around the house when she was a toddler, she would become so frustrated and bang her head, or throw things, because-she didn't speak or say her first words until she was 4-5 years old, there was no eye contact. Every story and book I read, I felt was a blue-print to Lexy. One thing I could remember and learned throughout the years I can't teach her as if she is as the world calls it- "different" or " special" because unfortunately, the world we live in won't treat her "different" or "special". We continue to give her endless Love, devotion, and self-confidence.
Lexy is now 11 years old. We have had our fair share of schools that could not provide proper education, bullies, and struggles to understand what “normal” or “typical” is.
The way we see it- Lexy is normal. She has accomplished the challenges that were presented. I couldn’t be more proud her. She is in Karate, Modeling, and Girl Scouts. She enjoys travelling, Fashion, drawing, and computers. WE ALWAYS STAY POSITIVE, SO SHE IS POSITIVE. She is truly a spark-Beautiful, Smart, Funny, Brave, Literal, and Loving.... She showers me with endless hugs and kisses - I can never get enough.

It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time you let it through
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth –
