my son (who is autistic) learned a very hard lesson during high school.
he fell in love w/his teacher.
the lesson, explaining & repercussions were sad
his thoughts were 'why not share what you feel in your heart?'
the experience turned his heart to fear
and now love + "girls" = danger
he says, "no way, Jose, they're evil." :-?
it will change for him when it's time
but meanwhile, my heart cracks a little
Sunday Scribbling word: dangerous
Hi Tracey!!I can well relate to your hazards and fears together with that of your son through this excellent post you have put up here.Recently I had seen an Indian movie on ASPERGER SYNDROME a form of autism spectrum conditions (ASC.A very positive film beautifully handled just as you have been.Loved the Mary Angelou quote- “If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.” Keep up the good spirit!!
ReplyDeleteHi Nanka - thanks for stopping by my place! (LOL!) I will have to 'google' the movie you speak of - would love to see it. my son has quite a few team mates with Asperger's. I never realized there were so many types of mental disabilities until I was blessed enuff to get involved with the 'disabled world. Thanks for the encouragement - please come back again :-)
ReplyDeleteOh Tracey, my heart aches for you and your son. My grandson is also on the autism spectrum. He's never been fully tested (a very long story) but I think he has Asperger Syndrome. He just started first grade. and he lost his momma at the end of March. It is so difficult at times. Seems like we have more and more in common all the time, doesn't it. ;)
