Autism To Me, Autism To You

It’s an individual situation that sees individual advancements for individuals who have it. There are no generalities.

Whether your child is entering school this year or has been there for years, your role in their advancement can’t be overstated.

As strange as it may seem to someone who isn’t in a similar situation, my house didn’t feel “alive” anymore.

It’s one of the main reasons we should stand in awe of special education teachers (and all teachers in general).

Snap at a friend and they dismiss it. Do the same to your kid, they’ll bring it up at Thanksgiving when you’re 60.

I can still remember the first time that my sweet-faced, doting, little princess ripped my heart out. She was two.

The hardest thing about my non-verbal son’s first day of school was sending him alone on that bus.

I want her to believe that she’s the best artist on Earth. Why? Because she is.

Kids today aren’t as coddled as you might think. They’re also not kidding themselves.

You stop caring about what people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.
