His Toy’s Batteries Died, But My Son Couldn’t Tell Me

He might not always have someone there to check on his batteries. That’s the whole problem that many special needs parents face.

They’re just extra steps needed to make his practice into perfect.

There was a feeling of guilt, as if I did something wrong, and I didn’t want to tell anyone.

The only thing you can really say is “bless you”.

I’ve watched him push forward to take steps that no one – myself included – was predicting years ago.

We never smelled the roses because we were thinking of all the seeds left to plant.

He doesn’t have to ask, expect, or appreciate. I do it because I love him

“Autism” is as general a term as “parenting.” They’re both deeply personal and different for everyone.
