I'm an autism mom....
I'm not more of a mom or less of a mom than any other mom.
I'm just a different mom, a creative thinking mom.
I don't have professional pictures of my baby because it's traumatic for her.
I'm not more of a mom or less of a mom than any other mom.
I'm just a different mom, a creative thinking mom.
I don't have professional pictures of my baby because it's traumatic for her.
I've skipped countless events because my baby wasn't feeling well.
No she was not sick in the typical way one first thinks, but mentally.
I have no problem sitting in the car with the ac running, killing my gas, because the rest of my family deserves fun too.
I can recognize when my non verbal little needs to leave the park, because she just can't handle her excitement.
We aren't leaving because she's being punished, we are leaving to bring her back to center.
I've put away my paint brushes and sewing machine, and replaced them with laminating and Velcro.
I may never hear the words "I love you mommy" But I can see it in her eyes.
I have her trust, in a world too large I don't leave her side.
I am her role model, and I know this because she wants to do everything I do.
Dishes take longer and I often repeat a chore twice, but she's mimicking and needs encouraged.

Thank you and love you papaw. The only time my chin is down is when I'm looking down at Harli Belle. It's my job to lead by example. And there's always a smile on my face looking into hers. ������
