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.

A terrible decision for your child might be the perfect one for mine.

Just because I don’t know why he reacts a certain way to something, that doesn’t mean I can’t support him during it.

He’s both the easiest kid to shop for and the hardest kid to shop for.

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.

When it comes to Autism, the entertainment world has a very distinct way of presenting things.

His eyes turn red, you lean in to check him, and he sneezes in your face.

It’s easy to be so fixated on one specific victory that we miss all the other ones happening around us.
