How Can I Raise A Child With Autism?

How can I raise a child with Autism? I just do. And it’s great.

I would be very confused by love of all of this, if only it wasn’t for one thing.

I never asked her to help “cure” my son’s Autism.

In that hospital bed, the question of whether I would do anything for my kids was real.

This wasn’t home and no other parents were doing it. That’s what makes it “embarrassing.”

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.

He’ll get it. I know he will. He’s done it before. He’ll do it again.

What do you do, after that entire expensive day of magic, when they scream out “shut your mouth” in a crowded Macaroni Grill?

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.
