Not just because ...You are such a beautiful person. Not just because of the inner strength you possess (that is required either inherently or to be quickly learned when caring for an autistic of any age). But because you're honest about it. Hell yeah, it's difficult and sometimes I bet you want to throw a tantrum right back in response, but even if everyone else can't (or won't) see the intelligence, and beauty in Timothy, you do. My mother recently passed away, very suddenly and very unexpectedly. My brother, who is 22, has always had social issues. Although undiagnosed specifically, he resembles someone who is high functioning autistic. Before my mom passed, she didn't really teach him all the real world skills he will need to know to be independent. I'm terrified for him. I'm terrified that he will be unwilling to learn, that he will stay stagnant, but most of all I'm terrified for his happiness. Because kids and people can be cruel when they see something or someone that is different from them. My brother may be different but he is the purest, kindest, most intelligent, brilliant and bravest person I know. I really, sincerely hope the world gets to glimpse the light that radiates from within him, and I wish the same for you and Timothy. Thank you for helping me feel grateful today. I needed help from you, and didn't even know it, or know of you until a post appeared in my FB feed. I wish you the best.
