It seems so long ago I had a silent little boy so lost in his world, because now I have a smart little boy, who talks a mile a minute and takes in the world around him like never before.
Once upon a time, I never imagined him in regular school, once upon a time I never figured he would ever get better or become the perfect little boy I knew he was inside (not that he was ever inperfect, he was just trapped in his disorder). Never did I imagine…that he would be placed into regular kindergarten. That’s right…I was given the go ahead to enrol him into regular uncoded school. He still has a speech issue, but nothing that can’t work for him in “normal” school.
I cried the day they phoned to ask if I had planned which school he would go to next year, I cried when they said he was cleared for community school, no more special needs, special ed schooling for him. We took him out to celebrate, to let him know that next year he gets to go the very same school as his siblings, that next year he will join them at school and no longer take the bus. He is so very excited…and it’s so odd still to me… Even 4 months ago…he barely spoke anything you could understand…he still hadnt met his goals for September…his 3 year old sister had been surpassing him in all the fine and gross motor skills…and now…in just a few months…he really has become the little boy turning 5 this summer. Other than his speech, you would never know he ever had any issues.
And to me that is amazing…and it breaks my heart at the same time. How many parents out there are still struggling, how many parents out there will listen to the “doctors” on what is “best” on what will “cure” their children…when in all reality…so much of what is “best” according to their standards are trapping our children into their own autistic worlds. How many parents will be forever in the dark with their children, because modern medicine says there is no cure?
I hope more parents look into the DAN doctors and the works of Jenny McCarthy…is it not at least worth a try…a try for a better life for your child..a release from the internal cage they are trapped in.
I look in my little boys eyes, and have him hug me and tell me how much he loves me and it breaks my heart for all those parents who will never hear those words…for all those parents who will never see anything but emptiness in the eyes of their children. And I thank all that has happened to me and all those around me…for giving me back the child I lost just before his first birthday…for giving me back the perfect little boy I saw born and taken from me…only months later. And most of all I thank Jenny McCarthy for taking the time to get the word out…for going through her own struggles and help others overcome theirs.
From my family to yours I hope one day too you will celebrate and say thank you for the small successes.
