Kids on the spectrum feel just as deeply, but they often sound different, have more issues with confidence, and they don\u2019t know what comes after \u201chi,\u201d making their ability to focus and succeed in social situations hard. With Marston, I\u2019d start every morning believing today was the day he was going to look into my eyes and really want me. He\u2019d reach for me, smile for the first time. Walk. He\u2019d say, \u201cMama,\u201d \u201cDaddy,\u201d or even \u201cball.\u201d By 1998, when he turned three, I\u2019d uttered that same old prayer a thousand times, and I was more determined than ever to shatter the glass wall that separated my son from the rest of the world. Autism wasn\u2019t widely talked about back then, and Facebook (networking) didn\u2019t exist. Eric and I were on our own. This memoir is our journey of educating Marston through programs like The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, Vision Therapy, the Tomatis\u00ae Method, Marion Blank\u2019s approach to reading, hypotherapy, balloon dancing, and the list goes on\u2026until we discovered stem cell replacement therapy. Love, faith, hard work, and teamwork have taught Marston how to strike up a conversation beyond the word \u201chi,\u201d and do so much more. The pain, obstacles, and victories over the last twenty-four years have brought us one step closer to Marston living a life of purpose with as much normalcy as possible. We\u2019ve cracked the glass wall, but we believe stem cell replacement therapy will ultimately shatter it. Now, it\u2019s our job to share our story with the world because one win for autism is a victory for us all.<br><br>Shop Educating Marston on Amazon HERE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How We Met: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: Marrin Costello<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Produced by @OnairwithQ<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally aired on Dash Radio 4.3.2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autism Warrior + Author of Educating Marston<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":53,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,4],"tags":[6],"class_list":["post-20","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-parenting","category-wellness","tag-featured"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marrin-Costello-Radio_episode-4_Dr-02.-Eric-Weiss_Christine-Weiss-02-600x400.png","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marrin-Costello-Radio_episode-4_Dr-02.-Eric-Weiss_Christine-Weiss-02-600x600.png","author_info":{"display_name":"Marrin Costello","author_link":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/?author=3"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/53"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marrincostello.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
