It's so tough being an autism mom, but I know with our kids and our optimism along with their own desires, we can open the world for them.

And sign him up for a humanity's class or something like that if he's intrested into it. Show him different types of music all around the world too I find that pretty cool and fascinatingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368018869456291566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650469034398711042.post-60616304481970384252015-11-02T06:18:09.551-08:002015-11-02T06:18:09.551-08:00"Most people see the world as their oyster, p..."Most people see the world as their oyster, peeking open and offering untold treasures to whomever is willing to reach for them." I would suggest that this may be mistaken, and that in fact most people probably feel like most other people see the world this way, but not them. Most people, autistic or no, probably feel more trapped and limited than your children feel, because they have you brightening their way! Keep at it, every bit of hope and encouragement is worthwhile.Benjamin Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851111974173660096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650469034398711042.post-17334864206013060772015-11-01T20:17:37.729-08:002015-11-01T20:17:37.729-08:00Thank you Heather.
