A rare treat...I am putting this on my Public Blog...
I wish I didn't feel so guilty about doing this post. This blog is...however my own private family journal, I should be able to express what I want without caring who reads or comments. I know what I say is usually raw and un-cut. I do so at the risk of being judged harshly. Sometimes I let that get to me, and I hold back....secretly thinking about un-inviting everyone from my blog. Other times I don't let pride get in my way, and I speak (or type) my mind. Tonight folks...is one of those nights. So if you are tired of my rants, turn away.
April is Autism Awareness month. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I like the rest of the world to have a month to think about what so many families are going through. The hate part of it is that I don't deal with Autism only in April....I deal with it every single day...every hour...every second sometimes.:
I love the ribbon in honor of Autism Awareness. The puzzle pieces are so appropriate, because this disease truly is a puzzle!
It seems this month that although sometimes I like to think about autism, and develop hope and positive feelings...most times I am invested SO much emotionally, that I just get angry thinking about it. Don't get me wrong....I appreciate the spotlight on the subject. I have received several phone calls this month letting me “know” that there is a special on TV or the news about autism. I guess instead of being annoyed, I need to be grateful that people are thinking about me. What is even better is knowing that people are taking the time to watch and learn, and if for one moment-understand what it is like.
So, I am sharing a few links with you....
First, a friend from The Autism Treatment Center of America made this video. Kayler is in it 3 times. I sobbed....it made it just seem all the more real to me.:
http://youtu.be/YPPijX5RQRM
Next, I am excited for this movie to come out.:
http://youtu.be/td1pxNXNjjU
Third, this is one of my favorite movies-I recommend any and all to watch it. It shows how the person suffering feels, along with how those around them feel. I too often get caught up in my own frustrations and emotions that I don't stop and think about my sweet little Kayler. I would give anything to know what goes on in his mind, so I could stop some of his pain. And yes...I cried most of this movie too:
I have had several people ask if I have watched the show “Parenthood” on NBC. It deals with a child with Asperger's like Kayler. Yes, I have watched it when I have time. People want to know if it is accurate, and for the most part it is.:
http://www.nbc.com/parenthood/
What got me going on this post was watching this documentary (after someone called to tell me that it was on and that I HAD to watch it ;)
http://youtu.be/CRSL4b_N7BQ
This might as well of been titled, “Autistic-Like, Kayler's Story” It seriously described almost every emotion I have ever felt. The little boy Graham reminded me so much of Kayler. If it is ever on a re-run on PBS, it is a must watch for anyone close to me or Kayler.
I am so grateful to have Kayler in my life. I think I spend so much time being overwhelmed and confused about why I have this trial. Instead I truly need to work on my gratitude that the Lord trusted me with one of his most precious spirits.
I will leave this with a genuine wish. I don't in any way expect pity. All I would hope for is that during this special month of awareness, that you will take time to truly understand this mysterious illness-and try to reach out to all you know and share what you have learned.
Have a wonderful Easter Weekend!
