I Want...

Things to be simple! I want to look at a person and only see a person. I don't want to see if they are sitting right, how they hold their pencil or where their eyes are look. I want to stop looking for signs of Autism in children I don't know. Even if I saw something I would never walk up to the parent and ask. I want to stop doubting myself and the choices we have made for our family. I watched old videos of the oldest two today and trying not to cry was not that easy. I wish it was simple, everyday simple. Maybe one day I will look back and understand this, maybe one day I will be grateful for our trails. That day is not today. Today I want simple, straight forward and clear.

  1. You might think looking for signs of autism in other children is bad. But you have to remember that it is now part of your life and a part of who YOU are. It will also allow you to have more compassion for others. That is very evident to me - you are such a caring person!
