She is a mix, a daily stormy mix of
happy

and

fretting

She is tall

Mile long legs

and so beautiful

day dreamin

She is autistic.

And though she thinks a little differently, she is just as smart, just as loving, just as human as a “neurotypical” person. So please, don’t ask me if she is defective. Don’t shake your head sadly and say “I could never imagine the burden” and never ever ever make her feel as though she doesn’t have a chance to chase her dreams.

    Wow. And if you could add anything to that, it would be that she is lucky to have a mom like you. And a cool shirt.

    She’s a beautiful little girl. And if someone is telling you that crap about her (or worse, telling her,) I think we should kick their ass. Yeah.

    What a lovely blessing! The missing tooth is adorable. People are idiotic in general. How forunate that is a member of a super loving family.

    As a mommy of two little ones I am trying to educate myself on Autism and what it does and does NOT mean. I am glad I stumbled on your blog today. I will be exploring more! - The Muddled
