Kindness, Understanding & Acceptance

This past weekend, my son (who has Autism) and his group went to their usual place for lunch.  They encountered some issues, which were handled very delicately by his worker.  Aidan, like many children on the Spectrum cannot handle noise.  This situation involved a crying baby, and for Aidan, this is something he cannot tolerate.

The mother was offended and gave one of the other parents a difficult time.  There was no reason for her to do so.  Nothing was said to her and the group moved sure and swift to an alternate seating location.

My son, turned to his worker, knowing he could not handle it and said,

"  I just cannot have a meltdown today"

We work so hard to give our special needs kids a voice, he has one and his needs were respected.  In my world, a triumph!

To all of us, we all need reminders.  Be kind, don't judge and be accepting of those who, to you, seem different.  

peace and love,
