The Reason I Jump
Whilst away recently I came across and read the most wonderful book, that I had heard about previously. "The Reason I Jump" The inner voice of a 13 year old boy with Autism. I recommend this 90 minute read to any parent or carer of a person on the spectrum. It shows us there is a bit of genius and angel in every one one of them and will early intervention we can help and guide them to their fullest potential.
Let's Get Real!
Parents who have a child with autism understand the hard work, time, and love it takes to give their child a fulfilling life, day in and day out. This time also takes a lot of energy and patience, wearing many parents thin, and leading them to feel they are fighting the battle against autism alone.
We need to remind ourselves as autism supporters and parents of children with autism that we're all in this together! Not only do we need to care for our children but we need to care for ourselves. We need to remember that what we do is possible when our own physical and psychological needs are met as well as those of our children.
