Waiting For Everything To Be Fine

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

My concern, as insane as it was, was that maybe by accepting it, I was pushing him towards a future that wasn’t his. I was convinced of it.

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

This isn’t a milestone that works in the form of a soundbite. It requires a backstory and explanation, but it’s truly a major achievement.

A passing moment can turn the most normal of us into a weirdo memory for a kid that will last a lifetime

It’s part of parenting and doesn’t stop because my child has Autism.

Please don’t tell my wife and daughter, but on a day-to-day basis, my son is usually the easiest one in the house to handle.

I wanted to write some of them down here so I have them. And, in case I’m not around one day, she does too.

The help you turn away today could be the exact resource they might need tomorrow.

Just because someone doesn’t like birthday cake doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy their birthday.
