When I was told that my son has AUTISM , I had no idea what Autism was! I had never heard that word before. I came home and Googled "AUTISM " and what that word holds, you all know!
That day changed everything, me , my life, my son, my thoughts, my vision, my dreams, we as family, everything!
The damaged happened that day, was healed in years. We started therapies the very next week but, we were trying to absorb the diagnosis.
I believe that when there is a special needs kid in a family, the whole family becomes special. Our thinking, our way of living, socialization, outing, travelling everything becomes SPECIAL.
First priority becomes that child, who is overload to the sounds of vacuum, tv, grinder, passing bike outside the house, specific pitch of a sound! Who is not eating anything except 4 foods! Who is not willing to sleep at night! Who is listening to the same nursery rhyme 100th time ! Who would cry while coming back home after an hour of wondering on roads!
But as the times passes, you notice that ,over the years, how much you have improved as a person. Your child has taught you PATIENCE . He has taught you to love others as they are.
The child that was nonverbal, hyper , inattentive, easily distracted has now become verbal, calm , attentive, focused and interactive.
Life is God's blessing. It teaches us so many lessons in different ways. It teaches us lessons to become a better human being. May God bless our children with health, acceptance and may they always be surrounded by pure human beings.
