A few things i have learn from being a autism mum:

We all have a different idea of what the perfect kid is. The normal expect things that we all want for out kids. But sometime life give you a bump that say stop things are not going to be the way you picture it...


So hear a few things i have learn from being a autism mum:

1: stop thinking about the future we all want those normal thing for our kids. Friends, Good education, job, career, house/home, girl friend/ boy friend / marriage, etc........

Their no point wish or plan for a future that really going to look different from your ASD person and could take alot alot long so their no point worry or stressing about a future that you cant plan or picture.


2: love can look a different way i learn really quick just because my kid cant say "i love you" in word they show it in some many other way. unspoken body language can be a beautiful and interesting thing when you know the signs... It funny we dont think we need or want our kids to say they love us but the idea of the word never came to my mine until i had kids with autism.



3. it ok to cry: it doesn't matter if you show your emotion to the world our kids have to work so much harder to over come or learn new skills and we forget that.. asd kids are little superhero hey my 6year had the hole of his primacy school class mothers crying on school concert night just because he when on stage.

4. be brave learn to stand up for you self and say no this is not working or i want something else... You think that it would be easy to stand up to a therapy or a school teacher when you see something wrong or you want a change for you kid... Sometime you need to be brave and being a loin mum and protect your baby because they dont have a voice yet or they dont understand.



5. Enjoy the now... this is very important because the right now and having fun and enjoy your family time is more important than the diagnosis or the appointment..
