Parenting, Patience, and Autism

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.

It’s our favorite trip. Other people might not get it, but we do.

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.

When it comes to meetings like this, it’s about helping my child. I’m here for him.

I don’t want to live my life angry and, just because I have kids, it doesn’t mean I have to.

Yeah. He’s not gonna look. You can just take it.

I’m ready for anything. I’m not excited about it. I’m not looking to have long talks about it. But I am prepared for it.

My son with Autism turned Raffi from singer to icon in our house.

One day, maybe he’ll be able to tell me, “Yo. Put me down.”
