Three weeks ago, I would have posted this story to facebook and received nothing truly beneficial, save maybe an "Adorable!" comment or a heart emoji.
While I'm immensely appreciative of my friends' emotional support, heart emoji's don't pay for Autism Therapy.
This mine and @winstonwolfe's kiddo (aka - Baby Wolfe).
One of his favorite places to play is a local hangout for kiddos 9 & under called Itty Bitty City:
While a wonderful place to play for any child, Itty Bitty City is a form of therapy for Baby Wolfe, who is on the Autism spectrum.
It's miniature-sized imagination playland offers a wide scope of real-life scenarios - like interacting with people while grocery shopping, paying for food at a restaurant, stopping at a gas station - that we can practice with Baby Wolfe to help him become an independent individual, overcoming some of his more difficult struggles.
It costs us $16 per visit, and we try to go as often as possible because Baby Wolfe has made incredible strides! When we first started going there, he was overwhelmed and would stand around covering his ears. Now,
he takes advantage of all that Itty Bitty City has to offer.
So, I decided to write a fun review of our favorite place from Baby Wolfe's point of view, and IN ONLY 4 HOURS, it made $23!!
In other words, the steemit community just helped pay to send my son back to Itty Bitty Citty again!
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
Believe me, $16 a trip adds up incredibly fast!

Kent this is awesome! Another good example of how social media that pays for good content gives back to the community. Sharing this one.
I never even knew places like this were a thing.

@jazzyfish and @winstonwolfe I am grateful for you sharing information, from a parent's point of view, on autism. I have learned so much just by reading your blog and FB posts... BTW if you don't already have the fish tattoo @jazzyfish, you NEED it, he's cute!

It really is! There were a few things I didn't have room for, like the schoolhouse and the art/science room. My little guy isn't quite into those rooms yet, though.

We would be down. I'm trying to get my partner to make her first post. She just joined. We have a 2 1/2 yr old.

I'm not entirely sure how many other Ozarks Steemians have kiddos, but it would be a fun time. I know @bronxb17 and his wife take their kids sometimes.
Let me know when she gets her post made. I'll follow! :D

This is what I like to see. Steemit support making real life impacts on people. I even enjoy reading that someone was able to rent a movie or whatever but it really hits you in the feels when it is something for a child.
Keep us updated on his adventures and I am sure the community will reciprocate with more support.

Steemit has made an impact on our lives, for sure. In a multitude of ways, really.
Just last week, I saw a friend of friend say he was able to take his boy to see monster trucks while they were in town because he had made a little extra money from his posts. Great stuff going on here!!

That's awesome on so many levels. We've got 3 delayed boys in the household that I'm wondering if they could benefit from such a place if it exists locally.
You've been followed, upvoted and resteemed.

Thank you so much!! Followed you, as well. :)
How old are your boys?
I think just about every kid could benefit from this place. There was an art/science room that we didn't even make it around to, and even a fenced-in squishy place for the littles 24mos and younger.
Honestly, I wish I had thought of it first!
