What Will People Say About My Child’s Autism?

In a world where everyone is striving to fit in, any small difference for your kid can be concerning.

The most amazing thing is how easily it all could have never happened had I just brushed her reply aside like an arrogant grown-up.

When my son was very young and newly diagnosed with Autism, everyone was sure he would be “just fine”.

I’ve made a lot of changes since that day in 2012 but it didn’t happen overnight…

The world needs more people who have grown-up confidence in the things they know and youthful desire to question what they don’t.

Being tired as a grown up is a sign that you matter. You’ve created a life where you’re needed.

So what should you say? Well, to me there was only one statement that always fits…

I wanted to write some of them down here so I have them. And, in case I’m not around one day, she does too.

The help you turn away today could be the exact resource they might need tomorrow.

You’re not perfect. You’re not awful. You just are.
