Autism......

Autism

People with autism usually have difficulty understanding language and social behaviors

Always      

Unique      

Totally      

Interesting

Sometimes

Mysterious

I am a mother of a child that has Autism

He is a blessing to have and we love him very much

There is NOT a cure for Autism

There are different degrees of Autism

Some Autistics can function very well and other have difficulty functioning

Some can be affected by certain sights, sounds, or touch

Some autistics have unusual fears, anxieties, depression, and a desire for acceptance

All autistics can get frustrated just by simple things

A person with autism can become frustrated by simple things that don’t affect others.

They just want to be accepted and treated with love and respect, treat them like you would like to be treated.

People without autism sometimes do not understand the feelings that an autistic person is feeling.

Specialists do not understand what a person with autism is feeling…..sometimes even parents don’t!

Autistics can fixate on certain interests and excel greatly in the field, for example: computers, making movies, science, music, etc.

A puzzle piece is a symbol for autism

It is because Autism is puzzling to people who do not have autism

We would not be puzzled if we just accepted an autistic for who they are

Some autistic children are forced to change….. And it is not fair to the child. Would you want to be changed?

.......As a mom somedays and some weeks are harder and many tears are shed on those hard weeks, it gets hard when everyone says that oh the Autism is gone, or they are getting better....

It is there everyday, just some people do not see it because you are not there true safe spot....that can only be at home, no one will ever get hit more than me by my child, as he knows I will not hurt him and that I love him, we have shared many tears and I am sure there are more.

I just wish so much for a little bit of compassion from people, but I know sometimes that is HARD!
