My 8 yr old son Aidan is autistic, he doesnt speak. He was watching me pack out my daughter's school uniform yesterday (she starts school next year) and he got that familiar sad look in his eyes, pointed at the uniform and wanted one too. it hurts so much to know that he wants these things and he'll never be able to go to school with his sister. he is starting to want to do a lot more and i find it so hard to explain why he cant do it. the same with her school shoes... i tried to explain that they are for Kyla for school and that he is not allowed to wear them so he went and put on one church shoe and one tekkie and came to show me, he was so proud of his shoes that i just burst into tears.... this all just gets so overwhelming sometimes and i dont want him to see how sorry i am for him. He touches my soul to the very depths and i love him so much!!! ↓

| Please don't feel sorry for him. And don't blame yourself. Just know that you are doing the best you can, and he was sent to you for a reason. I have to keep telling myself that he's not dead or dying. He is with us, and it's not all bad. Something that may help him (and you) when his sister gets something for school, get him something, too. It seems like he feels left out. If his sister gets new shoes for school, get him some, too. And remember, autism doesn't have him...He has autism. ↑ |

Hi!
I have just joined tonight after searching for websites. was surprised to find this including your son's name. My son's name is Aidhan. He was diagnosed last year with HFA, but we are all just accepting it now. He is 10. I am a Principal/Teacher. Would love to stay in touch and talk more. ↑ |

| Is he allowed to wear whatever he wants to his school? Cant he wear something similar to his sister to his school. My son jonathan is 4 and he went threw a phrase wear he would only wear red shirts. Now he will only wear button up shirts. As long as it doesnt hurt him i try to make him happy.

Hi how are you?
I cant help to have a teary eyes upon reading your letter. I know how it feels even though I dont have an autistic child. I had a friend who has an 11 yr old autistic son & I really love him dearly as my own. Unfortunately, am not seeing him anymore coz they moved but my love for him hasnt change. These special needs kids has a very big spot in my heart. I did graduate nursing in Phils. but we ddnt really deal with this situation. I've decided to do some voluntary work in a school to be closer to these kids. I want to lend a helping hand to parents & kids.
As what they said, theres a purpose why you have Aidan & I adore parents like you.
I will pray you & all the parents and kids. Dont worry, God will never give us something that we cant handle.
Take care & be proud of Aidan.. ↑ |
