Posted @withregram • @hollyrpeete Well, we woke up this morning and read the Sunday @latimes article and watched this video and had a good emotional cry about the blessing of how far RJ has come 😭🙏🏾😭. RJ’s job as a clubhouse attendant for the #Dodgers is a dream come true for a young man who wasn’t given much of a chance to fit into this world because of his #autism diagnosis…Thank you so much Steve Henson for crafting such a beautiful article. You captured the pure essence of RJ perfectly. Thank you Mark Potts for the video and Al Schaben for the epic portraits 💙💙💙💙💙💙 the link to the article is in my bio
To every mother carrying more than she shows… 💐
I see you. The sleepless nights. The silent tears. The guilt, the worry, the strength it takes just to keep going when you feel like you have nothing left.
Motherhood can be beautiful… and brutally hard.
But hear me: struggling does not mean failing.
Some of the strongest mothers are the ones holding it together with prayer, grit, and love while quietly wondering if they’re enough.
You are enough.Your love matters.Your presence matters.And even on the days you feel unseen, your sacrifices are shaping lives.
So today, breathe.Give yourself grace.And remember… even in your hardest season, you are still growing something beautiful.
Keep going, mama.Your strength is someone’s miracle. 💛
Thank you @themidnightmission 🙏🏽
At our HomeLight Family Living Mother’s Day Celebration, Holly Robinson Peete reminded mothers that hard times do not define your worth, and struggle does not erase your dignity. ❤️

(SWIPE) Some nights just mean more. 💙
Watching Tanner from Love on the Spectrum meet RJ at Dodger Stadium, RJ’s workplace, his purpose, his lane—was one of those truly special life moments 🥹
Tanner was SO excited to meet him, and honestly… the feeling was mutual. Two young men same age with autism.
Two bright lights. Two lives that continue to defy outdated limits and low expectations.
What made this moment so powerful is that it wasn’t just a meet-up… it was possibility in motion.
Shows like Love on the Spectrum have helped shine such an important light on the beautiful truth that young adults on the spectrum can love, connect, date, work, socialize, and thrive. Tanner and RJ are both living proof that autism is not the end of a dream…it’s a different path to one.
They are lighthouses… helping other families see what’s possible, pushing back against stigma, and reminding the world that joy, purpose, meaningful employment, friendship, and love belong to our kids too.
Friday night was bigger than baseball. It was hope. 💙⚾️

Happy Mother’s Day to the fierce, exhausted, beautiful moms of the autism community. 💙
To the mothers who became advocates, interpreters, protectors, educators, therapists, and safe places… often all before breakfast.
To the moms who fight battles no one sees, celebrate victories others might miss, and love with a depth this world could never measure…
I see you. I honor you. I celebrate you.
You are not just raising children—you are changing the world to meet them.
Today we celebrate your strength, your sacrifice, your resilience, and your extraordinary love.
Happy Mother’s Day to the moms who never stop showing up. You are superheroes in real life. 💙 #AutismMom #MothersDay #AutismAcceptance #gangstamoms
Laughter for a cause I love? That’s my kind of night. 💙
Last night at Netflix Is A Joke at the Hollywood Bowl, I laughed HARD, laughed deep, and honestly… I needed every single second of it. So much brilliance, so many incredible comedians, and all for a .org that is so near and dear to my heart @nextforautism Big thanks to @harryslatkin@lauraslatkin for including us 💖
There’s something powerful about joy with purpose. Advocacy matters… but so does laughter. And last night gave me both. 💙✨
Extra special, loving shout out to our friend @izzypaskowitz and @surfershealing congratulations on an awesome honor. You deserve it!

Autism Awareness Month may be ending… but our advocacy is not. 💙
Awareness opened the door. Now let’s keep walking toward acceptance, inclusion, opportunity, and real change.
The conversation around autism was very limited 25 years ago when our family started our advocacy journey. It’s so gratifying to see the awareness and the acceptance swell.
To every family, self-advocate, educator, and ally: Keep Going!! Keep showing up. Keep speaking out. Keep believing in a world that fully embraces neurodiversity.
Because our loved ones deserve more than awareness for one month… they deserve action, respect, and belonging every single day!!

Repost @americanair : We’re making travel feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more welcoming. 💙✈️ Last month at LAX and CLT, our It’s Cool to Fly American program welcomed more than 70 families for a mock travel experience designed to help children with autism feel confident and comfortable flying. From check-in to taxiing, every step was about turning stress into support.
Since 2014, #AATeam members have been proud to partner with local organizations to make air travel more accessible for those who need it most.
Thank you @americanair for another successful #ItsCoolToFlyAmerican event at LAX!!!
Thank you to all the families who came out!!!
“It’s Cool to Fly American” is more than a program—it’s peace of mind, confidence, and inclusion for families who deserve to experience the joy of travel without judgement 💙✈️
By turning the airport from overwhelming to empowering, this beautiful partnership gives families the tools, support, and understanding to help their children soar…long before the plane ever leaves the ground.🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
