But each day we do.
Each day is a learning experience, not just for A but for all of us. It is not just his world but our world as well.
If he has taught me anything, it has been to never doubt myself as a parent......oh and these other 10 things below:
- You will learn you have way more patience then you ever thought you had.
- You wear a pair of invisible boxing gloves because you are always prepared for a fight.
- Throw out all the advice from parenting books because 4 hours of television and 2 hours on the tablet make our Saturdays a lot calmer.
- Your child will not be harmed from eating pizza and chicken nuggets every.single.day.
- For a kid that hates loud noises, he makes a lot of them himself.
- Professionals know a lot about autism but no one knows my child like I do.
- People will stare. Take the opportunity to educate them on ASD.
- It's okay to worry about their future, just don't let it take over the present. Enjoy every moment.
- Watching him sleep gives me peace, knowing his brain is getting a little rest.
- No matter how hard the days get, how long the journey becomes, I would never change who my child is.
