I didn't know you had a blog until I properly read Sue's Pen letter and scrolled aaaall the way down to the bottom.<br /><br />I worked with 2 autistic children, and my brother's grandson is autistic, and I used to babysit for him when he was a toddler. <br /><br />I have a special love for these kids, and the feeling seems to be mutual. It must be a gift from God. I was blessed to be all of their favorites (from a list of therapists in the Early Autism Project). <br /><br />My little Ethan moved out of state last year, and I was crushed. One day the phone rang, and there was a child on the other end. I didn't know who he was and couldn't make out what he was saying. Then suddenly his mom came on the phone, and explained that Ethan missed me, so she let him call me. I still miss him terribly! But I told him that one day he will be the President of the U.S., so I look forward to that day when I'll be able to see him on TV whenever I want, hehehe...<br /><br />See you Saturday!Deborah Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415814125499548149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149995138779949433.post-59763454148224782442011-03-07T07:32:39.749-06:002011-03-07T07:32:39.749-06:00Brave...this is well said Betty B.

Last week, we were all trying to get her to wear her new winter jacket, as the old one has a broken zipper. The task is not cut and dry, she's ready to give up her old jacket for a new one. Today, she said "Grandma, I wish I had a turtle shell". I responded, "Well, Lily, we could put on your new winter jacket and pretend it is a turtle shell. You can hide inside it." She seemed to like the idea, now, let wait till 8 am when the school bus is driving up the drive way, will she have on her "Turtle Shell"?<br />Betty, I remember that 2 am phone call very well. There were 2 brave souls in that house that morning. You also were brave, watching your little Bean have a siezure, and there was not much for anyone to do but pray.

Absolutely I agree with you! You and your family also have been effected . What happens to one person in the family happens to the whole family so to speak. But certainly she has been more greatly touched by her disease. Honestly I didn’t realize autism was classified as a disease. I’m so grateful to have the chance to get to know you at Pens and now through your wonderful blog too!Susan Marlene https://www.blogger.com/profile/12644008271992138790noreply@blogger.com
