MY PARENTS

MY PARENTS ARE ANGELS SENT FROM HEAVEN.  THEY HAVE FOUGHT SO HARD FOR ME TO BE TREATED LIKE A HUMAN.  PEOPLE THINK THAT BECAUSE I CAN'T TALK THAT I CAN'T THINK AND THAT I DON'T HAVE A BRAIN.  WHY WOULD PEOPLE THINK THAT?  IT IS AWFUL.  MY PARENTS BIGGEST FIGHT FOR ME WAS SCHOOL.  IT IS A SHAME THAT A CHILD HAS TO BE TREATED LIKE A MONSTER LIKE I WAS IN SCHOOL.  THAT I WAS A STUPID BOY AND THAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.  THAT'S WHAT SCHOOL THOUGHT OF ME.  THEY DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE EXCEPT FOR CHPS, MY EA AMANDA COULD SEE THE POTENTIAL IN ME.  IT IS A SHAME THAT A CHILD WOULDN'T GET A EDUCATION JUST BECAUSE A SCHOOL THINKS THEY KNOW ABOUT AUTISM BUT THEY REALLY HAVE NO CLUE.  A PARENT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FIGHT FOR THEIR CHILD TO HAVE AN EDUCATION.  A PARENT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CRY IN FRUSTRATION AND SADNESS ALL BECAUSE SCHOOL WON'T LISTEN TO  THEM AND BELIEVE IN THEIR CHILD'S POTENTIAL.  MY PARENT'S SACRIFICED SO MUCH FOR ME ONLY TO HAVE IT BLOW UP IN THEIR FACES.  NOT SOMETHING A PARENT SHOULD HAVE TO DO.  MY PARENT'S HELPED ME FIND MY VOICE AND MY SANITY IN A WORLD OF BAD PEOPLE.  MY PARENT'S NEVER GAVE UP ON ME AND ALWAYS SAW POTENTIAL IN ME.  I LOVE THEM  EVEN MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY. I AM LUCKY TO HAVE PARENTS THAT NEVER GAVE UP ON ME.  THEY DIDN'T LISTEN TO THE PROFESSIONALS SAY HE WOULDN'T BECOME A PRODUCTIVE PERSON.  BUT I SHOWED THEM THAT THEY WERE DEAD WRONG.  HOW LUCKY AM I  TO HAVE PARENTS THAT LOVE EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS THEIR CHILDREN.  ALL IN ALL I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH WONDERFUL PARENTS LIKE MY OWN.

  1. I hope when e can communicate better he thinks this. .. but hey even if he says I'm a terrible parent that's ok too. .I want him to say how he feels. Anyway any experience/advice. .. His van driver treats him like a baby he's very nice and well intentioned but how can I nicely remind him e is 5 1/2 not 2
