A friend of mine, who also has an autistic son, once said “It’s true we do have a hard time with our kids, but when they actually achieve something the high we get is much more than those parents raising ‘normal’ kids. Whatever milestone their child achieves is nice for them, but they take it a little bit for granted. For us any progress at all is absolutely marvellous and we celebrate it.”
From Facebook archives.
Last
night Thunderthighs and I watched Great Railway Journeys on the upstairs tv.
The phone rang.
Ferretfingers picked up and came screaming into the hall
"Phone Mummy".
I leant over the bannisters and asked "Who is
it?"
He shouts into the phone "What's your name?"
then to me
"It's Cousin Daisy".
First time he's ever asked anyone anything on
the 'phone - big thumbs up.
