My Non-Verbal Child Is Living A Life I Never Expected

I’ve watched him push forward to take steps that no one – myself included – was predicting years ago.

She’s prioritized on the same level he is – not above and not below.

He doesn’t have to ask, expect, or appreciate. I do it because I love him

“Autism” is as general a term as “parenting.” They’re both deeply personal and different for everyone.

Meltdowns are tough on parents, but far worse for people experiencing them firsthand.

I don’t know what the other kids are doing. Some are talking. Some are reading. Some might have X-Ray vision.

When they return, the house will be cool, just like their dad.

It’s my responsibility to take responsibility when it’s my responsibility.

It was the exact thing I needed to hear at the exact right moment.

It doesn’t mean you don’t love your child. In fact, it means the opposite.
