Nate, Our Blessing
April is Autism Month
I would like to introduce you my son:
Nate, Our Blessing
Nate has Autism.
He was 10yrs old when we found out.
Yes, it changed our lives but it also made me look at the way I was parenting him and why sometimes he could not do some of the things I asked him to do.
There are still some things that I continue to work on but with our help he is now helping out around the house. He is taking trash out and helping with laundry. I know it is nothing big, but to us it is big. I ask him to please take out the trash and he does it. He might grumble but he does it.
He has improved on when we take him to Wal-mart. He no longer goes to play the games or asks for anything. He goes and looks at things that he might want, like a tablet but he does not get one.
There are so many things that I am blessed with.
- A kid that likes school has not missed a day in 2 years.
- He is a part of band at our school.
- I am blessed with a great band teacher that not given up on him.
- Blessed with an art teacher that says how proud of him she is. Thank you Mrs. Holman! You do not know how much it means to me.
- It is the small things that he does that makes us so proud, but there is still things to be done with him. Some social skills he needs working on.
- Thank you Mrs. Thomas for helping him at youth group.
- A Pastor Ebbler and R. Cummings who are trying to get to get to know him more.
- There are so many people I could go on and on.
- Thank you all the teachers he had in school.
- Howe you are a great teacher and we have been blessed with you.
So this Month if you would change your light bulb to blue that would be great.
I love our son with Autism.
I am blessed with a great Autism Family.

Do you have a personal story you would like to share?
We would love to hear from you!
