Jaime, a gorgeous Autism Mom and Founder of Auptimism

This is Jaime, an amazing mom of two boys, yes two, with autism, a gorgeous wife to a really cool guy who happened to win the Today Show’s hot dad contest, founder of the organization Auptimism, which hosts fun and inventive playdates for kids on the autistic spectrum and their entire families here in Los Angeles, and most important, a beautiful friend to my son and me. One of the reasons I think Jaime is so great is that we share our outlook. We are parents to autistic kids, but we do our best to live life to the fullest, live with hope and positivity, don’t take anything lying down, but cherish all the good things we have, don’t complain about the rest, and as Jaime coined, we are #LivingWithAuptimism.

The other day Jaime asked me to shoot some headshots for her. This is a perfect example of Jaime’s personality. Sure, she’s got two boys on the spectrum, special ed classes to carpool between, speech therapies, aba therapies, ot, pt, a busy husband, but hey, let’s try acting! I think she is certainly beautiful enough and has enough character to make it work! Go for it, Jaime!! And check out Auptimism.org online or visit her instagram page.
