we are all different

I'm learning more as he grows who he is and what he knows. Hes changed so much and that is so. Hes developed some amazing skills, did you know? He's talking non stop and has made some "friends". He tries so hard to just fit in. He laughs and jokes and in a silly way he will make your heart smile if he may.

Many kids don't get him. "He's weird, He talks to much, hes just annoying, why don't he play like us, what is wrong with him?" These are all the things i have heard from children who should be just like him. It still bothers me yes but do i let consume me? No! For now i say he's a unique type he doesn't like to rough play, he likes to use his imagination, and plays pretend. he doesn't want to climb there and run with them" because he doesn't have the same development as most. his muscle tone is still weak. but, If you get to know him you will see what an amazing person he can be.

Parents stare and whisper still " whats wrong with that kid over there?" and yes i'm out spoken and will say He's amazing and unique in every single way!, he was born this way this is who he is whats wrong with him? Nothing at all hes amazing the way he is!"

Then the parents of children who are worst off then us tell me i'm lucky and how their children aren't anywhere close to him. That's the funny thing about this spectrum you see for each child is completely different and unique. I have learned to count my blessings and see things no one else can see. i have watched my child struggle just like others. He is verbal and very much so but he is awkward and doesn't understand like most children do. He has a hard time making friends, and doesn't realize it. because he is still young and really doesn't notice it. and sadly most people don't see it either because he is around the other children and not screaming to leave. but see this is the thing that is different about him he can be in a room with 20 kids and find the one adult to just talk with him. He doesn't want to play with the kids you see he doesn't want to play the games like they do.

but i am okay with all of this because you see this little boy is my everything. He is a fighter and stronger then me, he is amazing in everything!
