A very common Preston pose!
In the playroom at the hospital.(He managed to pull his IV out there too!)
Our little man at Diamond Children's Hospital with pneumonia.- Autism can affect many. Not only the person who has it but also those who love and care about that person.
- Autism is hereditary. This is my belief as well as all of Preston's doctors and teachers agree.
- You cannot cure Autism! It is a neurological disorder. In other words, they are wired different from most of the population.
- Being Autistic is hard in a world that doesn't accept "different", "special" or "unique" individuals.
- Autistics physical bodies can look "normal" but most have medical problems they will deal with the rest of their life.
- What is "normal"?
- Teaching an Autistic child is challenging and rewarding.
- Seeing the world threw their eyes is important to knowing HOW to teach them.
- But the most important thing you can learn about Autism: Accept change, love them unconditionally and encourage them to be WHO THEY ARE!
Some of you will not agree. Some of you will.
But I have come to accept
and love this little man forever.
He's my boy!
He's my hero!
He can do anything and everything we can.
His father is a great example.
