This year, I have a young boy in my class who has
ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). He is absolutely gorgeous and has a completely
hilarious sense of humour! He has adjusted to school beautifully and is making
excellent progress. That is not by my doing- I have a fantastic team of people
that I work with! I know I could not do it on my own. And I think that is the
point that many people miss about working/living with a child that has some
kind of special need: no matter how well they are doing, no matter how
incredibly rewarding and successful some days are, and no matter the level of
planning and organisation you put in, the fact stands that there will be days
or times when things will not go according to plan and you will need a break!
This little boy’s mum is an absolute inspiration!
And as wonderful, active and proactive she is, the sleepless nights, his
siblings, and the pressures that come with all of this do wear on her and sometimes she just needs a
break. She is extremely fortunate that she has an involved and supportive
husband, sister and parents that help out when that time comes. This is not the
case for everyone…
On The Autism Site
Store (Greater Good Network), every item
you buy pays for therapy and research. This
helps to fund research, therapy, or give much needed respite to families. You can buy items that particularly raise
awareness about autism, or you could perhaps directly sponsor/fund the
following things:
All children are hard work at times,
but children with autism can be extremely challenging in situations that we
consider to be simple, every day situations. So support autistic children and
their families who are caring for them buy buying from this site, or donating
online!
Blessings!
