So true. (Love this from Maddox’s Autism Chronicles)
Let’s chit chat for a moment. Please never say to a special needs parent that their child has the “easy” kind of autism. Bless. Yes I have been told this beforeš¤¦āāļø Let me be the first to say, just because I do not plaster Maddox’s hard times all over facebook does not in any way mean he doesn’t struggle. Believe me, we struggle over here. We are frequent riders on the struggle bus express. There is no easy autism. Each individual struggles. Their struggles will be completely different from another individual on the spectrum. That is why it is called a spectrum. Stop comparing individuals. Stop comparing your child to other children on the spectrum. And for the love….stop trying to minimize the struggles another individual experiences . Quit ranking struggles. That is all. Thanks for coming to my Ted talkā
