It Resonated
I read this article about autism and the MIND Institute in the NYT and it just … resonated.
The non-responsiveness. The staring. The trips to UC Davis. Providing samples. Having to make hard choices, like leaving my job. Looking at our autistic child’s sibling with a new (and sometimes heart-heavy) perspective. Lack of answers. Curveballs. Making it up as we go along. Trying all the therapies that seem helpful. Progress. Being grateful for assistance. Realigning expectations of the future … for our family.
I wish this family all the best. They are a lot like us.
