PECS, AAC, and The Ways We Communicate

My son may have never said a word to me, but we have spoken in so many more ways than that.

She is equal to her brother and, in my eyes, just as important.

Those who treat him like he’s capable of anything will get the best him he can be.

For some, my son’s Autism brings up feelings about themselves, not about him.

It doesn’t matter how thirsty I am or how recently I got it. My water is his water.

They’re not here to make me feel better. They’re here to help my son.

Keeping his iPad away for the entire final day of Spring Break sounded crazy to everyone, including me, but it had to be done.

He’s not being rude. He’s being him. If you’re patient, though, he’s fantastic.

I may have helped, but his successes were about him doing it, not me teaching him.

In the end, I’m proud to say, no tables were flipped.
