So, there is an awareness and reasoning and thought that makes ME - all the way over here - not blood related - proud of Alex- so, I can just imagine, as your mama how proud YOU are. There are so many ways that he manifests that he will grow into an independent, brilliant young adult. How many friends do you still see regularly that you knew when you were 7-8 years old? Being different does not mean he is or will be lonely - it means that those who are close to him will be the real deal and worth more than a lot of fleeting friendships based on sameness. xoxoKaren V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02432239210579792788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428166683371800.post-90655324890937499142012-07-11T21:05:07.149-05:002012-07-11T21:05:07.149-05:00Oh, that sweet boy!

We work so hard to engage them and make them socially aware - and then, when they are, this happens... Would we rather they live in ignorant bliss or become socially conscious of their differences. I've had a few doozies myself:<br /><br />"Why do I always lose at tag?"<br />"I'd rather just cut my arm off than go OT again."<br /><br />But..what doesn't kill us makes us stronger? Right?
