Learning new things

I've always said, that throughout all of the struggles that raising a child with autism brings, we have learned so much from him about life.

Patience...

Humility...

True joy...

How to disarm fire alarms...

It's true. He pulled not one, but two. Back to back. You know, Mom is running frantically trying to call the school secretary to figure out how to turn it off, and that's kind of cute. So why not go ahead and pull the other? 

So I think I can say that I am a professional at disarming them now.

Unfortunately, he was pretty proud of himself. So you can bet there will be more fire alarms in my future.

It's November, repeat after me. I am thankful... I am thankful... I am thankful...
