Please don’t say
you’re sorry when I tell you my son is autistic.
It’s like telling
me you are sorry that my child is Black, or female, or was adopted: just plain
wrong. Sure there are things about being a woman or person of color or autistic
or having been adopted that stink, but none of them are intrinsic to the person
living those qualities. They’re judgments and discriminations that are
inflicted externally, not – at least not originally or inevitably - embodied.
My children are
veritable rainbows of their own unique glory, neither defined nor necessarily
limited by any one particular trait.
Just like everybody
else.
Figure I –
Veritable Rainbows of their own Unique Glory
That is all.
Thanks and love,
Full Spectrum Mama
