It’s My Baby’s Birthday!

I gave birth to my son, who teaches me about life.

My second son was born twenty-three years ago today. His lessons for me have given my life meaning in the way only a child with special needs can. I was his first student, followed by the rest of our family. I’m grateful for the generosity his experience of autism has produced in our lives. We are better people because he is ours.
