How They See Him

For some, my son’s Autism brings up feelings about themselves, not about him.

It doesn’t matter how thirsty I am or how recently I got it. My water is his water.

They’re not here to make me feel better. They’re here to help my son.

Keeping his iPad away for the entire final day of Spring Break sounded crazy to everyone, including me, but it had to be done.

He’s not being rude. He’s being him. If you’re patient, though, he’s fantastic.

In the end, I’m proud to say, no tables were flipped.

There’s something so unique and inspiring about it, that it’s hard to put into words.

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

It’s why my stomach gets knots. It’s why I come running.

I refuse to leave him sitting in the living room.
