I met a young woman today. She happens to be the mother of a nine year old completely non verbal boy. I honestly don't know which of us were more stunned. My talk of recovery must have seemed a bit strange, just as her lack of knowledge about recovery was strange to me. Sometimes I forget just how far down the rabbit whole I have gone. Over the last seven years I have researched autism to the point that even I can barely stand anymore. Frankly I have been obsessed. However this woman seemed to be the complete opposite. It got me thinking just how many people like this are out there.
It makes me want to scream, 'Autism is a changeable condition. ' I know of course as more children are healed our voice will begin to roll like thunder. Still, in the end she was inspired by my story of recovery and I was inspired to reach more newbies.
