Teen Autism

Tanya, when one door closes, new hope arises…hope for something better. I understand your decision not to fight it. Sometimes even we super moms (strong, super moms) can’t take any more. We put so much energy and effort into doing the best thing for our kids, and if they don’t want to work with us, we can’t do it all alone. That energy and effort still pays off, as we’ve seen in Nigel’s progression through the years. He is so intuitive, smart, and works so hard. On top of that, he can calm you, saying exactly what you need to hear when you feel like the world is falling apart. There will be another door that opens, and it won’t come from the school district, but when it does open and your son is a success, you can look back on this day and say: Hey, WE did this. WE made this happen. WE are the success. WE…me and my son!

I’m still sorry that you put so much effort into something that wasn’t to be. Those tears are empowering…let them fall as you step up to the plate once again, with your home team behind you…you are gonna hit a double, and Nigel is gonna knock it outta the park…and the rest of us, we’ll be cheering you both (and Aiden too) on until that better thing comes along.
