Autism described in a Mother’s eye.

Describing Autism in a mothers eyes

The repetitive language I here on a daily basis it’s like a broken record that plays over and over again.

The struggles of communicating with my child on what he wants or needs by not always using words, sometimes he’s screaming out of frustration then I cry because I’m not always sure I’m doing the right thing,

Nightly interruptions of sleep my child doesn’t always understand you don’t have to wake me to go to the bathroom, or we need to use a inside voice when we’re getting up in the morning so others can get their sleep,

Over the years struggling with peers and teachers that this behavior isn’t normal,

The stemming of clapping hands, or thumb popping out of the joint and looking at it like it’s a toy that’s attached to him,

Putting underwear on backwards and telling him it’s on wrong but, he likes how it feels,

Going to the bathroom and takes all of his clothes off when he has to go number two and telling him you just need to pull pants down not take all clothes off,

The love he has for me when I might be having a hard day and he says mommy it’s going to be okay and wipes my tears away.

Such a smart loving intelligent boy, with an amazing mind, he has great facial recognition or can remember a place or time that we went somewhere and what we saw,

the way he has no filter, he says what’s on his mind no matter if it hurts you or not,

My amazing young man who I would not change one thing about him,

His love for music, movies, and sports even if that’s all we talk about at least he has something to say.

Some are less fortunate and can’t even get the words out,

I’m so lucky to have someone like him in my life, He’s made me a better person and has taught me so much compassion for another person that I didn’t think was possible. I love you my sweet boy
