Autism is not a death sentence. Sure- it has it's challenges, challenges so deep that they have the power to bring you to the edge of your limits and then show you what you're really made of, but...
It also has it's gifts, and that is what I would like to share here with you today.
Autism has given my son a different outlook in life.
He seems to be more tuned in & appreciative of the simple but extraordinary things... weather, insects, music, spheres.
He is also completely free of the need to be cool. And really- who wants to be cool when you can be HAPPY?

We all have challenges; some are just more visible than others. Sounds like you have an awesome son! :)
ReplyDeleteVery true... THANKS, Lorrie!
DeleteThanks for the heartfelt tips Joanna. My son who is nearly 4 has recently been diagnosed as being on the Autistic Spectrum and the uncertainty of how things will turn out is the hardest for me. I love to read your positive take on all the subjects you write about and i hope to follow you for a long time to come :)
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU so much, Kirsty! I really appreciate that. And- the great news about your son still being 3 is that early intervention is key & there are so many things you can do now to help him out using food. HUGE blessings & all my best vibes to you both! -xo
