Yesterday, Weston's teacher introduced me to another teacher, a grandmother of a 2 1/2 year old girl, who has similar characteristics of Weston. She had met Weston earlier in the day and was impressed that he stuck his hand out to shake hands upon introduction and encouraged by seeing him work and interact among his peers.
By turning to parents who've been there done that and having the chance to observe individuals with autism who are older than your child, give you a sense of hope.
Especially in the beginning, I believe that's all we're looking for -- HOPE.
So, a big thank you to Weston's teacher for taking the time to make a connection and for giving me a moment of perspective. Weston has made amazing strides when you step back and look at where he was and where he's at now...
I am reminded that sometimes, not knowing what the future might hold, is potentially a blessing in disguise.
