Dianne and Lauren's Blog

After many years at RDA Lauren took the significant step of trotting on Missy. And who better to take that step with dear Keith, so often by Lauren’s side in those early days….now watching over her from above.

I am 20 years old and I have a twin brother, Matthew. When I was little my parents noticed that I was not developing like my brother. That was because I am on the Autism Spectrum and have an intellectual disability.

Lauren was most excited to have the opportunity to play in front of an appreciating audience at the school mid year concert.

Lauren achieved an important goal by performing at the Pascoe Vale Gala end of year Performance. What a proud occasion for us all!

Lauren is riding the beautiful, ever reliable Missy at RDA Oaklands 2014.

Speaking of goals…Lauren is right into the thick of Year 12 study.

After being a member of the general public admiring and marvelling at the LEGO creations of talented others, this year Lauren had the incredible experience of exhibiting at Brickvention 2013!

Recently Lauren sat her Grade 2 Music Theory exam and I am proud as punch to report that she scored an outstanding 93%!

In December the four of us embarked on the first ‘big’ family holiday we have had for a very long time….a cruise on the Princess Dawn to New Zealand.

On the weekend of 9th & 10 th of November, 2013 Lauren proudly exhibited her LEGO sets!
