Autism Parenting: A positive ending to an otherwise challenging day

Another end to another challenging day. That's become the status quo of late and I've just sorta gotten used to it being that way. Life with Autism in it can be very challenging.. Rewarding but also challenging

How my 7 year old with #Autism broke my heart

".......I had no idea when we left for school, I would get a glimpse of what he's feeling. I'm heartbroken but I'm also so proud of him for finding a way to connect to his feelings and share it in such a beautiful way..."

Okay, so this isn’t something I usually do, but there’s a video going around right now that really bothered me. I’m not going to play it because I don’t want to spread her hateful message, but in it, she mocks people who are about to lose their SNAP benefits on November 1st. She talks like they’re just irresponsible, that they should “get a job,” or that they should’ve saved their benefits from last month, as if it’s that easy. It’s disgusting. It’s been a long journey to get where I am today. It feels like I’m exhausted and overwhelmed on most days. I know many of you can probably relate. One thing I don’t talk about a tremendous amount is my personal life. I value privacy more as I get older and protecting the privacy of the people in my life, is a priority. #Representation is so important. Listen to the absolute joy when kid notices an advertisement at the store that includes a little girl in a wheelchair. The importance of something as simple as seeing someone that reminds you of yourself on TV or in the media can’t be overstated.
