My sweet baby boy who will be 5 soon has Autism. He has had one hell of a journey with therapies and medication and IEP through school. My only wish for him was to live a normal life full of fun and joy. He has gone above and beyond and works so very hard! When I look at him I'm amazed at how far he's come and how much he's changed. He's a blessing and I'm thankful to see him grow each day and when he makes eye contact with me it's even better. He used to look through me so much. Now he's working on looking AT me! I'm blessed to be his mother and he's blessed to be apart of our family. Not a day goes by that I wouldn't wish away his autism and the struggles he has but what does't kill us makes us stronger. I teach him every day that today is a brand new day and lets see what we can do to make it a happy one. Autism isn't a life sentence to be tucked away some where. I've been given to chance to walk hand in hand with him and see him grow bigger and better each day!! I love my little buddy.
