This is so beautiful, I am nearly in tears. I have some of these same fears for my littlest with DS. I might have to find the show you speak of and give it a go. Thank you very much ❤️
Oh thank you Jenn! I have had so many tears, some genuine good laughter, lots of hope and even some mixed feelings (in terms of protecting) watching this show. We are so very blessed to have these beautiful people in the world. If only the world would stop for a minute and see them.
The differences and nuances in people and experiences are truly what make this world interesting and exciting, right? ❤️. I do hope this show causes more people to pay attention to all the beauty humanity has to offer.
Again you do what you do! I watched this also. And because I have 3 with Austism in my life it really resonated with me. Old Yellow did too, BTW. MY first first hand experience was with my youngest Taylor who has Aspergers. It was a challenge but I navigated it and he did too. Today he is not where either of us want but he has come so far and had many experiences he or I never expected. My second was my cousin in Texas' son, Hampton was a twin and he was non verbal for many years. He and I bonded because I understood more than the other family because of Research when Taylor was diagnosed. I believe God sent Taylor for that reason. Then 11 years ago my best friend had Will Bo. He was diagnosed and also has ADHD. again we have a bond that developed very quickly in a visit in 2020. I moved to NC when he was young and he was still struggling. So that was the first time we interacted face to face. Now if I call he MUST talk to Linda! Again this past May when I went home when Anita died. He was my constant companion. Letting me sleep in his room and making sure I had his stuffed animals in case I got upset. I have always felt Special needs children are here for our special needs. They have the purest form of love and care. Much like Jesus and God. Love you my sweet friend. oxoxox
I am amazed by your stories here. God is certainly so good to give you these precious souls in your life. We have so much to learn from them. I can feel your love all the way through this. They are blessed to have your love as well.
Thank you for always taking the time to read and to write out your experiences here. It's what I hope for and am very blessed by.
OCD is a familiar friend in my family. Currently doing an amazing bible study called The Armor of God to aid in the battle (( no exaggeration ) .The silent suffering or struggles we all walk with should only increase our capacity for empathy and understanding. Wonderful piece !!
I am interested in that study! Wow! How cool you are doing it! OCD is a big part of our family too. I have come to a place where I have accepted and learned about my own personal struggles and the absolute need to feel great empathy for the inward struggles of others. It now brings me to tears, rather than frustrates me. I am mild in my own (we all have ocd in some nuanced form) but am learning to deal with it as I've discovered it on a higher level with other people. It pains my heart to know someone is suffering inside.
Yes. Definitely something to explore. Mostly, how to be patient and kind. This documentary is definitely worth the watch. A good reminder to see the world through others eyes.
Oh Jenni! thank you so much for this and for sharing a special part of your life with me. Your son is such a blessing. You obviously loved him so well and supported his purpose to find his niche working with children ❤️ This brought me tears of joy. And the whole forgetting to call on birthdays, etc., I believe that is built-in to the DNA of all adult children! 😅 I think we are the last generation to call, write a card, mail it? (what a feat!) 😭 and... we text back within a few hours (not weeks! 😅).
You made me smile big this morning! and the old movies and mum's trifle! ✨ Hate to say it but I never ate things that wiggled or had that rubber texture - but mum never gave up and of course I ate it!! lol

Very big subject to explore, I’ve been reading more about Autism in recent years.
