I love the idea of having a big family with me, all four of the kids, Barry and the extra family members. Then there are the moments where A family member thinks that one kid is more special than the others. As a mom of a special needs kid and a mom that has watched her child struggle through the anger, not being able to express ideas or learning the same topics as other classmates or brother and sister. When I listen to a woman who doesn't have children tell me that of all the kids only one is going to really make it life it stays on my brain for awhile.
My son, William, has made great strides. No, his grades are not perfect, but he goes to school with no trouble. My son at two years old was not talking and throwing fits because he couldn't communicate. When he was in the elementary years he had a hard time after 1rst grade because of the divorce. There are things he just doesn't want to do because he rather play video games, watch marvel movies and hang with mom. Although, I want him to have friends and play outside he is just fine with the kids at church and his brothers and sister being his friends. If he is happy I am happy. He wants to learn to be a director of movies or deal with special effects. This may change within the next couple of years, but I am confident (yes there are concerns) that he will succeed. People's ignorance always amazes me. Autism is not a death sentence.
