Touching Video from Upworthy

I love how he says…I never saw his autism as something that needed to be cured. And that he just wants his son to be happy and not hurt himself. So touching and made me cry in the break room like a baby. There is always hope my friends. We just have to adjust what the end result looks like.

    That is me after years and years of finding the answer. My son does not need a cure, he is not sick. He has autism and he has a lot to offer. Wherever he goes…no matter when he is loud at times….most people smile. He makes the world a more pleasant place.

      Thank you for all of your comments! Cooper is the same way. He is a complete and perfect joy. And every day is the best day of his life. Thanks for connecting!
