Why can't kids with Autism just "Be"? They are all beautiful. I never want to miss the way my son looks at a problem from a completely different perspective than I could and comes up with solutions that I, a very intelligent college educated grown Woman could NEVER conceive. His different-ness allows him to do that. It's wonderful. His is a new reality. A new evolution in Man that is going to create a whole new world. Autism is no longer rare, it's becoming more and more prevalent across the world and there has to be a reason. God's plan? I don't know, but I know that I love my Sons, no matter what. I see beauty, amazement, intelligence, and wonder "in their eyes". <3 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825795103164441089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487608420720365177.post-58816770296905118122013-04-18T22:41:16.856-07:002013-04-18T22:41:16.856-07:00I want to say that I love your post.

The briefest eye contact where Love and Light show through, a shared giggle, a new triumph. Restoration...does that take the Autism (and for us Down syndrome, too) away? My struggle is there. Here. Take away the Down syndrome and autism and is that really my son? Didn't God create my son in His image? Perfect and imperfect just as Jesus was. Perfect. Imperfect. Fully Human. Fully Divine. Restoration - that is something I can scarcely think about for my son, lest it leaves me to ponder. To wonder. What if? There is not room for me in loving my son to say "what if" for God made him in His image and the Light shines through.

I had a well-meaning Christan lady tell me shortly after Adam was diagnosed at age 3 that Larry and I needed to plead the blood of Jesus over Adam in order for the autism to leave his body. How confusing for a new Christian like I was at the time! I have been journeying down memory lane during the month of April and each weekend I post a note to Facebook to chronicle some of those lessons learned from our journey. Your post will be going up on my wall tonight, friend.

Instead of open heart surgery, we had a daughter born at 25 weeks who did not make it and 4 months later B got his diagnosis. I just wanted to share the way we look at our situation. I tried to fit it into my post but there was not enough room. The Book of Matthew (Red Forman/NCIS Edition), we are told that "I make sure that the birds of the air and the creatures of the ground are fed. I am not going to forget about taking care of you, dumbass [head slap]." obviously this is a paraphrase, but the reminder helps us get though those days we all know far too well.

I am a believer in God and in Jesus -but I don't believe that Christianity is the "only" way to God. Only God can judge us and he does not micro manage our lives. Being Christian does not make us perfect. It just means that we are trying.
