Our story began when my high-school best friend told me that her son was diagnosed with autism at age 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since my background is in Project Management, I hadn’t come across anyone with these special needs first hand. Autism? My best friend’s son is autistic? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, like most families, that was just the beginning of a long and crazy journey for her, and she just graduated from college, and so I felt like this was too much for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As he grew, she found it harder and harder to keep him in his crib tent and the jumping up and down was not helping, what was she going to do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know, I\u2019ll go online, there\u2019s got to be some type of bed on the internet for pre-school kids with ASD, right? RIGHT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How about a car bed? It sounded like a good idea, but it turned out to be impossible to teach a non-verbal, ASD child to stay and sleep in a toddler bed, and after several nights of screaming, running, and climbing all over his room, it was back to the crib tent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh yeah, he also figured out the doorknob, what was next, the window latches in our two-story home when they come to visit? HELP! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She had just got a new job which already stressed her out, and being a proud single mom I knew it would be hard for her to ask for help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We then thought, \u201cLet\u2019s try a camping tent, that should work great.\u201d WRONG again. It took all of thirty minutes for our creative little genius to find his way out of the tent. We needed something and we needed it fast! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
