My kiddo has special needs as well, so it was really cool to see how you have exposed your sons to Jamaica. We decided she gets to hang with GMa on the next reach, but she is coming with us on the one after. If you do not mind me asking, how are the locals with your sons?
Couldn't resist had to post this photo in answer to booger's question. I have saved it since you posted your beautiful story. I hope you don't mind - it warms my heart and soul each time i see it.

The hardest part about going to JA is the airport, security, lines etc. When we were leaving Ja they do a random security check where the pull you aside and search. Guess who was picked? The lady from the JA TSA was very kind and understanding when we explained Stevie's situation. She let me be with him and was very quick and gentle. I have found the locals to be very kind. My husband and I have been going to Negril for 20 years, so we have made some very solid relationships. We have been bringing the kids to the Charela since they were very small. The staff there is amazing. We even bring special food for Stevie and they prpare it for us. From the wait staff to the housekeepers, they are top notch! The beach is very child friendly, lots of shade and beach toys.
I can't say enough about how much all of my kids thrive while in JA. It's not just the resort part they love either. We go to see friends who live a very sparse and simple life. They get to see that most people on this planet are not as fortunate as we are in the states. They see the sense of community and what is most important in life.
LOVE this picture and the story behind it. My supervisor has a child who is "on the spectrum" and I have shared this with her. Sometimes life is not so easy so it is good to see what others are doing.Originally Posted by Sweetness

Cassidygirl- much respect. You are blessed and will be rewarded.
PEACE.
The kids know right away that he is different. They ask questions, then take him under their wings.
Your son is beautiful, Cassidygirl. These pictures are so heartwarming...
I'm so glad you and your son had such a wonderful time in Negril!
Carpe Diem
Lot's of fun to be had!
