		<description>I have just found your blog, and skimming through it and came to this post and I totally agree with you.  My nearly 10year old son has autism and it has been 5 years since he was diagnosed and in that time he  has taught me so so much.  All kids are special but these kids are extra special and Im a much stronger person for it, although I still have moments where I cry and wish I could make things alot easier for him.  Baby steps good things take time</description>

		<description>Denise: You are a sweet sweet lady. I hope your adoption process goes very smoothly. You are a great person. 

Jess: Autism does seem to really make up a lot of their personality and that&#039;s ok with me! 

db: Sure, link up! I like the (most times anyway) totally understand that. At times I catch myself thinking how much easier things would be &quot;if only&quot; then I slap myself and move on LOL</description>

		<description>I agree, (most times anyway).  People who dont get the opportunity are missing out, not the other way around like most people assume :).  Nice new layout, by the way.</description>

		<description>Its so nice to hear your words! I wish more moms felt like that. I&#039;ve never wished that Jayce doesn&#039;t have autism because that&#039;s who he is! I wouldn&#039;t want my boy any other way than himself :)</description>

Thanks for posting this, I love working with Autistic children and we are looking at adopting a child with Autism and people look at me like I have 3 heads when I say that. But really its who I am and I am glad God has given me that gift.
