Yeah I had a random girl yesterday start ranting at me that we “have all this autism” because parents don’t parent and feed their kids junk 🙃 and they say vaccines cause autism to deter people from getting them.
A lot of my friends are on the spectrum and really just want to live in a world that makes logical sense. Turns out that's a threat to the establishment!
My kid is autistic and those people would be lucky to have such a sweet, clever, funny person in their lives, but I doubt they’d be able to recognize the gift.
Both my boys are on the spectrum, and I hate that those anti-vax people constantly insult my family by preferring that their children were dead instead of like my boys. They're wrong and stupid, but also highly insulting.
Right? A joy. One my kids just got accepted at University of Oregon and Penn State. The other is taking community college classes and working. Both are thriving. I am SO proud of them.
Their journey has been my journey. :) When I was pregnant with my first, I remember saying "I don't know what I will do if my baby has autism. I don't think I can handle it." Just shows, you never know, and life is the best teacher.
