Shannon shares a pivotal moment when she realized her son's autism was considered "severe" after he was excluded from a Disney on Ice event that his autism therapy group organized without inviting him.
• Communication strategies using Disney movie references help her son understand complex concepts like family members leaving
• Learning that her son requires multiple staff members for support at his therapy program
• The heartbreak of discovering her son wasn't invited to a Disney event because his "needs were too great"
• Fighting for inclusion and eventually attending the Disney on Ice show as a family
• Funny shopping adventures with her son, including his perfect comedic timing saying "I want to be happy because people are stupid"
• The hilarious struggle with a broken shopping cart and learning about boundaries
• Importance of proper nutrition before outings to help manage behaviors
