This is awesome.
As adults, we tend to underestimate the things that kids can learn just by existing and functioning in the world. It really amazes me to hear the things my kid learns by simply talking to his friends or walking around NYC.
This brought me to tears. You’re doing an awesome job.
This is just beautiful. Thank you Sarah. So heartfelt.
I totally get this experience. It is often times the very “insignificant” parts of life (meaning the “no big deal” to others of neurotypical kids) that can get us out of bed the next morning to keep on doing what we do with our not-so-typical kids.
Thank you for sharing this with us ….I know for myself it is relieving and inspiring to know I’m not alone in this journey.
“…sucked it up and learned to ignore strangers.”
That is pretty much the key to life.
Great post.
Wow, I needed to read this today. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your story/struggle. Some seasons of life are best taken one small victory at a time.
Good work putting aside your embarrassment for your son’s sake.
I was at a wading pool recently with my daughter. A boy, maybe 6-7, came up to me in the pool and touched my face while talking a bit. I hadn’t noticed him because it was noisy and I was focused on my daughter, so I was startled. After he moved on I realized he probably had a neurodevelopmental disorder.
The boy’s dad (I’m assuming) came up to me and said ‘that’s how he communicates’. No embarrassment, no apology. I thought it was a great reaction.
