You're making me cry! I hope the whole world moves that way very quickly! I'm proud to be a Disney stock owner.

I've had this post open for a couple days, rereading it. I love it. I'm so happy for you and Captain Adventure!

Tama, that story is really awesome, and I am so happy for you all! I too have been a lurker since Steph/YarnHarlot mentioned your blog. It is wonderful and very light at heart! Thank you so much.<BR/>Karai

Count me among the people who love to hate Disney coming away from this story with much love for them.<BR/><BR/>They get it. They truly do. And I'm so happy for the results!

Hi Tama!<BR/>As a Spec Ed aide I was so happy reading this - I loved the comment about a research grant! I wonder if it would fund a "field trip" for 7 kids, 1 teacher and 5 aides from MA to Disneyland to see how it would improve their communication skills!<BR/>Awsome post!<BR/>Michelle

Yeah Disney! I'm SO happy that your visit worked out a thousand times better than anticipated. And that Captain Adventure is having such a great time talking about it. I agree with Jan, make sure you send something to Disney so they know what an impact their caring had.

I wish I'd had one of those neon signs to put on my child! Even then, I don't think people would understand what they were reading or seeing.<BR/><BR/>Linda K in AZ

I haven't been a fan of Disney since forever (cough... little mermaid... cough) but this is fantastic!<BR/><BR/>I'm so happy for you and your family and hope it's a permanent switch on.

I've been lurking for a few months and loving your blog, but THIS one I HAVE to comment on!! I cried and aplauded when I got to the 'eeki oom' part. <BR/>Definately do share this with Disneyland - they need all the encouragement they can get.<BR/>Thanks for sharing your life's trials and joys.

Oh, I'm bawling over here, but in the best possible way. Yay Disney! Yay Captain Adventure! Yay Tama! Yay Tama's DH for thinking of the sticker! Yay whole family! And what whiplash, from the what ifs of the day before...

Greetings, Tamarian, this was posted on the Fool - I haven't kept up and did not know of Captain Adventure's diagnosis of autism. What a wonderful tale to relate! I loved reading it. My close childhood girlfriend's daughter is autistic (she just turned 13 this summer), high-functioning, and I remember that her progress came in spurts, often triggered by a new adventure that was made pure and

I'm so used to reading why people aren't happy with something, that this was such a welcome surprise.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that this trip was made so special. And I hope its effects live on and on...<BR/><BR/>Beautiful post.

threeundertwo directed me here via Twitter, and I'm freaking crying (in a good way). This post moved me beyond any words I have, truly. <BR/><BR/>YAY for all of you! YAY for Disney! Mostly, YAY for one little dude who got a little magic!

What a joy and a blessing to have the communication flood! I can only imagine how overwhelmed you were - and I work with children like Captain Adventure! May it continue!

Awesome! I have tears too. Now if Disney could start training our public schools (well mine anyway). That's just so, so awesome. I'm so glad you all had a great time. Gush, gush, gush.

I'm going to link this post over to LaughingPlace.com, where a number of cast members post. This is such a wonderful wonderful story.<BR/><BR/>For future reference, you can go to City hall during a trip and leave a kind comment for any cast member that went out of their way to help you. This means a lot to them.<BR/><BR/>There is also a website http://www.whatwouldwaltdo.com/ to acknowledge
