Foundation for Autism to help other people and families with autism have access to the same opportunities, therapies and programs to live life to the fullest. Dougie's favorite activities include swimming in the pool, horseback riding and spending time with his friends and family.
Dougie loves to swim, whether its in a pool or in the ocean. He actually taught himself how to swim in our family pool. He figured out in the deep end that if he kicks his feet and moves his hands he will stay above the water and he can now swim in the deep end without a vest on in any pool.
He used to be nervous to go in the ocean but now that he swims very well in the pool I think it built up his confidence for the ocean and he now goes in the ocean with his family and body surfs.
He loves swimming and I love the fact that he can do this on his own and feel independent with supervision of course. We are very proud of Dougie for teaching himself how to swim. Dougie actually loves a wide variety of food and has a very good appetite but I have to say that pizza is definitely his favorite food. Especially pepperoni pizza. When our family orders pizza we get a whole pizza for Dougie because he will easily eat about 5 pieces for 1 meal and then finish the rest for snack later that day or the next day.
Dougie loves his pizza! Dougie has taught us to keep our lives in the right perspective. He has taught us to take it one day at a time, don't take anything for granted and appreciate everything about life, especially the small things.
But most especially he has taught us how to smile and be happy and look at every aspect of life in the most positive way possible. I love to go in the ocean with Dougie and body surf or just play in the waves. Flutie became a household name when he was leading the Boston College Eagles in the early s.
