Letting My Son With Autism Build His Own Relationships

It’s why my stomach gets knots. It’s why I come running.

I refuse to leave him sitting in the living room.

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.

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.

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

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.
