This week for my Video Favorite Things, I’m pulling out of the archives a video that I made about Autism and reposting it here.
Autism is not one of my favorite things. But it is part of one of my favorite people. This is one of the most honest things I have ever written, but it was shared with the hope that other parents with children with Autism will know that they are not alone. Please share.
This had me in tears. My oldest has Autism and while he is 16 and is doing very well, I remember when he was small and couldn’t speak. His break downs were also very few and far between but when they happened, it was rough going through that. I love the end of your video when you talk about just loving him and you try to understand his suffering. That’s all we can do is love them and do the best for them. Thanks so much for sharing this! #MixitUp
Thank you. It is my hope that one day we’ll be able to pull all of this together and he will have a decent and happy life. Right now we are trying so hard.
I have a friend that has a son with autism, and it’s not just a once in a while thing. It’s an every day and all day long it just is. Very sad at times, but yet rewarding at other times when accomplishments are made. One accomplishment for the day could be just a small smile…
Agreed. Our biggest accomplishment for the day?Getting him in the shower.
oh gosh I’m almost in tears, you can feel the emotions pouring out of this post. I can only start to imagine what it is like to live with a family member who has Autism. Thank you for sharing this with us at #TriumphantTales. I hope to see you back next week.
Thank you. It isn’t easy, but we keep trying.
