What Kind Of World Am I Leaving My Kids?

Here’s the twist. I don’t wonder that.

When he was two, I could never imagine five. When he was five, I could never imagine seven.

I had done nothing wrong, but at the time, their confused glances sure made me feel that way.

Autism or not, sing to your kids. Even if you, like me, never sing for anyone else, do it for them.

Of course, if anyone does them wrong, I would go buck on them. That’s a given. But I’ll just wait until that happens.

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.

It wasn’t a secret word anymore. Soon it was just another aspect of our lives and categorized along with all of the other quirks in our family.

Yes, it’s an exaggerated sense of fault in situations like these, but that’s how they become learning experiences.

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

I knew she had her hooks deep into this snow day and wanted nothing more than to jump into the yard like a drunk elf on a trampoline.
