Gifts For The Kid Who Doesn’t Want Anything

He’s both the easiest kid to shop for and the hardest kid to shop for.

I never asked her to help “cure” my son’s Autism.

We walked into the crowded and cramped waiting area. That’s when my son had a meltdown.

It’s easy to be so fixated on one specific victory that we miss all the other ones happening around us.

I had to force myself to see the worst of him, even though I usually can only see the best.

When you truly accept anything as a possibility then everything is perfect.

What followed was a barrage of sad heart emojis mixed with the occasional, “Stay Strong, Mama”.

There are some days when I am in awe of his nerve.

He’ll get it. I know he will. He’s done it before. He’ll do it again.

It’s our favorite trip. Other people might not get it, but we do.
