to Terryann: I must celebrate you for your understanding of your son and your desires to improve your life. I have also wondered why god would give me a son with Autism when it has been aparent that my intire life I was shy and lacked confidence. I must say, things have changed completely. I believe that god gives us tools to better ourselves and when we are weak at something , we are offered challeges that we do rise to the task. I don't think that you have a problem with patients but more the lack of tools to master your skill of patients.My son is almost 18 and is really stuggling with understanding simple concepts. He is low funtioning and I must always remember how our idea on life is not always what we think. Very simply put, The cause is in the future.I wonder sometimes what life would be like if we were never challenged. Bliss or Miss. Thank's for writing. From one loving parent to you... Terry Ann

Wanted to wait before responding. My son is now 12 and has gained some weight and is no longer under weight. He plays special Olympic basketball and is reading at a grade 5 level. He is a happy child. He still stuggles with the mornings on school days. We have learned better how to deal with the mornings. When I first posted this question it was not how to support an autistic child but how to support me as a father to better deal with starting my day off in such a negative way. I have always felt truly blessed to be the father of such a beautiful child but just never understood why God would choose someone with such poor patience to be the father of such a wonderful child. I thank you for your response and wish you and your son a continued joyful life.
to drLove: Hi drlove,
This is terryann. Thanks for the feedback on my post. I actually feel so Blessed receiving Young Michael and what he has taught me about my life and the journey's we go though. I think often about how I will transform this wonderful gift in the most sharing opportunity for as many people and children that I may be Blessed with. I have found your letters and comments so warm and touching that I do hope you will continue to keep in touch often. I am inspired by you and feel great Love for people I know are beautiful. Remember , Autism Rocks, God's children will save our world, in the most profound, simple way.. with our Heart. ttfn.. Terryann
Hi Terryann. I've read your post on another site (Greatest Hits 2007) and your journey with your son is truly inspirational. They say that God never gives us more than we can handle. God must think parents of autistic children are very strong, - and very special!! What a blessing you are to your son.
