"I love you Mama"

This story was shared with me a few days ago. It moved me so much that I asked the mother if she would grant her permission to share it with you!

Her response, “I don’t mind at all. As my son grows older, the more that I am getting immersed in Autism needs and causes. Meeting people like you is heaven sent.”

Her story, “My son, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, had one of his episodes last Monday. We talked and told him the consequences of his actions. That night he texted me and said “I love you Mama”. My heart melted, my soul sang… there is nothing like it.”

Isn’t is magical when our special children “get it” and have those positive moments that truly melt us? Instead of focusing on those episodes when we lose sight of reality, isn’t it more healthy to focus and nurture the child within during the clear moments?

If YOU have a story you would like to share I would LOVE to hear it and share it with others. I am always looking for good material for my monthly column for Autism Today. My column title is ‘Beyond The Spectrum.’ The Autism at home Series has a global readership of over 100,000. YOUR message could change many lives!

Thank you in advance,
Rhonda
