A year ago today, we created BubblesMakeHimSmile.com to share our lives and experiences as people who love someone with autism. We wanted to generate more autism awareness and share our knowledge in hopes that it would help at least one person.

As of today, we have posted 284 blogs. Our website has generated over 11,000 views! A little over 400 people ‘Like’ us on Facebook and we have 134 followers and are on 17 lists on Twitter!

Those may just be numbers to most, but we are just extremely taken back on how many lives we have touched, how many people we may have helped in some small way, and all together very appreciative of all the support we have had throughout this year.

We’d like to thank you all!
