Your boy, your little man, your son. It impacts your heart and soul in ways words can't give justice to. You are suddenly not who you thought you were or were going to be. Everything you do from that moment is always enclosed in those parameters. If you let it, those words can honestly crush you to the point of being unrecognisable.
Enter Autism and Aspergers Support Group Sydney.
In this group of inspirational and motivated parents I have found people who "get it". They have provided me with comfort and knowledge. They have recognised me and see no obstacle in the parameters. They have taken the time to understand and listen. They will do EVERYTHING they can to hold back the tide so those words are rendered powerless.
Tomorrow five of us (plus others who like to run not walk!) will be pounding the pavement for 14kms in the City to Surf to raise funds for this AMAZING group. We will be laughing all the way, hauling each other up "Heartbreak Hill" because amongst us we don't give in to heartbreak. We only see the other side and our hearts are full.
... and we would walk 500 more just to be the ones who walked 1000 miles so you didn't feel alone anymore..... see you in the morning!!!! xxx :o)
