My son Joshua is and has always been a different little boy. I thought he was just a late bloomer. He didnt crawl til almost a year. And didnt walk til almost 2. He will be 3 in oct and still dont talk. We only get a hand full of words out of him. I knew something was not right and as his mother i was to scared to take him to be tested. I didnt want nothing to be wrong with my baby boy. We had him tested. Joshua has Autism. ( for those of you who are reading and dont know what that is here is a link were you can read about it )

I learned about this almost two months ago now. Joshua is starting a special school sept 6th, to help him before he goes into real school. We are all learning how to do sign languages to help understand him and help him understand us ( even tho he knows the word NO very well ) Matthew taught him how to swim. I taught him how to eat with a fork and Richard ( his father ) has taught him how to ride his power wheels. He is a fast learner just takes alot longer we have to work harder..
My son is very special to me and now he is extra special for us to love.
I blame myself. that is it something i did or didnt do. And i know i can not blame myself but i do. and you would too if this happens to your child. I feel so bad for my baby when we are in public and he flaps him arms and the other mother lean over and whisper to each other. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.. STOP TALKING ABOUT MY CHILD!!!!!!! AND DONT ASK ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM.. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH HIM. HE SEES THE WORLD BETTER AND DIFFERENT THEN US. stop staring stop talking stop pointing and dont let your kids push mine around. ( Which has happened and there moms and dads didnt say anything) My child is not a retard so dont call him that.
Joshua is going to be something great in his life. I know i can feel it. I can see it. And when the day comes and he is on top of the world you will be sorry you ever let your kid bite my kid and not say sorry or even punish your child. I dont wish evil or harm to your child. I just wish you could walk a day in Joshuas shoes!!!!!!!!!
It took me two months to let anyone other then family know about my son. And now i am telling yall. Please dont pitty him. He has life in the bag!!! Just one step takes longer which is ok with me as long as we keep stepping forward.
thank you for reading and listening i needed to get this off my chest..

hearts lady.
i dont want him to feel different even tho he is. so he is in a normal play group but they are so mean to him.. he has learned how to bite and kick and punch.. why moms and dads let there kids do that i dont understand.. even when i was in school i took the time to make sure the kids with disabiltys knew they had a friend in me. i love the way they see the world. i love to hear there thoughts.. it would always kill me when people would make fun of them or be mean to them. they are just people that god took the time to make them extra special for us to love.
