Embracing Possibilities: A Journey with My Autistic Son
December 13, 2024 - 02:21
As a parent of an autistic child, I frequently encountered the word "never." Experts and well-meaning friends would tell me my son would "never" reach specific milestones or engage in certain activities. Initially, those predictions weighed heavily on my heart, casting shadows over my hopes and dreams for him. However, as the years progressed, I discovered the beauty of defying expectations.
Through patience and love, I learned to celebrate every small victory, whether it was his first word or a newfound interest in drawing. Each achievement, no matter how minor, was a reminder that my son was capable of growth and change. I began to understand that the journey of raising an autistic child is filled with surprises, and the word "never" holds no power over our reality.
By letting go of limiting beliefs, I opened myself up to a world of possibilities. My son's journey is uniquely his own, and I will continue to support him as he explores his potential.
