Accepting Things My Special Needs Son Might Never Do

If my boy never does these things, I accept that, because I love him.

I love my son and his autism cause isn’t something I’m constantly trying to get to the heart of.

The world might be aware of the term “autism”, they’re not aware of my son and what makes him special.

Nonverbal and in the full throes of a meltdown, he was done with the Waffle House.

My quarantine means I will miss my boy’s birthday.

What do you want, bud? Why are you staring at me like that?

Nonverbal autism started with nevers before redefining milestones.

Just because someone has the ability to say words, doesn’t mean they should always be speaking.

Everything I do now is so that one day, he can do it on his own.

We have a lot less of these interactions as time goes on, but they still happen.
