Because They’re Mine

Autism doesn’t make my son the best boy in the world. The fact that he’s mine makes him the best boy in the world.

When it comes to meetings like this, it’s about helping my child. I’m here for him.

I don’t want to live my life angry and, just because I have kids, it doesn’t mean I have to.

Yeah. He’s not gonna look. You can just take it.

My son with Autism turned Raffi from singer to icon in our house.

The scariest part was never about what he would or wouldn’t do.

One day, maybe he’ll be able to tell me, “Yo. Put me down.”

Forever. No thought. Not even a question. All real parents would say the same.

My non-verbal son’s skill set stretches far beyond what any one person sees. It’s my job, as his advocate, to accept that.

My non-verbal boy can sling snark with the best of them. He just expresses it in more creative ways.
