I'm walking for Autism over 7 days from 26 th March to 2nd April.  I'm attempting to walk 10.000 steps a day in honour of a little boy who has taught me more about life than as his grandma I've taught him. For those who don't know my 9 Yr old grandson Max has Autism Spectrum Disorder which means he has difficulty in communicating,  socialising and his development his severely  delayed when  compared to society's idea of a '"normal child". This can make the world increasingly difficult for Max an others just like him to live in. Combined with a total adjustment of how family life should  look. A lot of hard work from his mum dad and close family his amazing special Autism school different therapies Max is growing into a Happy beautiful boy with a wicked sense of humour and an amazing loyalty to those close to him. But one thing  that could make it easier is how people not aware of Autism treatment of him. That's why with 2 bad knees a bad hip short legs a bad attitude and a grandma moan I'll  be walking 10.000 steps a day (  my version of a marathon ) to raise awareness make life easier for Max and others like him "fit in". Don't stare when he needs to flap don't laugh at his directness, don't tut when he uses disabled toilets his ears can't take the handier noise. Please support me and My Max on this journey and donate whatever you can.
