Posted @withrepost • @hollyrpeete #tbt ❤️ we did the cover of this parenting magazine #TodaysChild in 2000 ... RJ had just been diagnosed with #autism. One thing RJ was not going to do then was look into the camera. I remember being so stressed about wanting him just to look into the camera!! I was desperate for him to make eye contact😫and in solidarity his twin sister would look away from the camera too! We weren’t quite ready to talk publicly about our #autismjourney yet in fact it was a contentious time because Rodney did not want to label his son . But I knew that we could advocate for other families and I’m so glad that we did. It’s crazy to think that the twins will be 25 next month. 🥹What a long and winding journey! 🙏🏾🙏🏾(And he still doesn’t love to look directly into the camera but when he does it’s such magic! ) 😘😘😘😘
