Your honesty is a gift to others. <br /><br />I think the most profound statement I've found so far is to 'assume competence' - assume that an autistic child understands more than he or she can communicate to others. It's a hopeful assessment.Debbie Fuller Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174333267329587740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812824146717614356.post-26604820515032598672009-10-24T08:36:20.163-07:002009-10-24T08:36:20.163-07:00I love your writing and your wish for Sean. Oh, I ...I love your writing and your wish for Sean. Oh, I understand. I think you'll appreciate the irony that among my three kids, G is the only one who talks about what he'll do with his kids someday, get them a dog, play certain games, be a dad. I wonder if he realizes it usually involves marrying someone? A peer? That Sean wonders about it is a good sign.BerengariaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465677845214373450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812824146717614356.post-27882725917543898012009-10-19T15:05:47.455-07:002009-10-19T15:05:47.455-07:00I love "My Wish for Sean."

Paste the link and it should take you right there. Sean will be loved. http://cindajohnson.blogspot.com/2009/04/it-has-been-almost-three-years-since-my.htmlCindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094311567888874509noreply@blogger.com
