A Colorful Christmas
When I share about my son’s autism’s, my hope is that I share the endearing parts with the world. The humor and the joy.
The innocence and the determination. Because autism isn’t a dirty word. Not in this house. There are so many amazing parts that make him…him.
For example…
Last night I dressed all three boys in their matching Christmas jammies. An hour later, only two were wearing them.
Cooper’s were off. This morning as I searched for them, I had to laugh. They were gone. Like gone-gone.
I searched every part of this house and they are nowhere to be found. Twice.
When I asked him where he hid them he pointed to the fireplace. And after a few questions he nonverbally let me know that Santa took them back to the North Pole.
He did not want to wear those jammies and he was going to make certain of it. I wonder if I will ever find them!
He makes me laugh out loud. Daily. He is a better communicator than most people I know.
So, here is out obligatory christmas jammie photo I take every year. Just a little more colorful this time.
Finding Cooper’s Voice is a safe, humorous, caring and honest place where you can celebrate the unique challenges of parenting a special needs child. Because you’re never alone in the struggles you face. And once you find your people, your allies, your village….all the challenges and struggles will seem just a little bit easier.
