When God Created Mothers of Children with Autism

One day God said today I am going to make a model of a mother who's child or children will have autism

I need you to get me a jar of compassion, a jar of stubbornness, a jar of tenderness, a jar of understanding,  a jar of tears for joy, sorrow,  A jar of determination, a jar of knowledge, a jar of activism, a jar of fruits, a jar of anger

The angel asked God Why do you want all those things for this mother
God said she will need copassion to deal with the melt downs, and stares of the people who wont understand
She will need stubbornness to be determinded that her child will succeed no matter what people or the education system tell her, she will need it to fight for the rights of her child

She will need tenderness to understand when her child is melting down in the middle of the store, church or where ever she is at, she will need it to deal with and understand why her child does these things.

She needs joy to show at the slightest achievement the child does, and joy just over her child for who he or she is.

She will need sorrow to deal with the pain and hurt that people will say without thinking and out of no understanding, she will need it to deal with the melt downs so she don't become to drained from the stress of it all.

She needs determination to help her child succeed no matter what.  The slightest success is achieved by her determination

She wil need knowledge to know how and where to go for help and search for answers and to work with thier child.

She will need activism to fight for what her child needs

She will need faith to rely on me to get thorugh the rough times and the good times

she will need anger to handle all the stress and to relvie tension

But Lord why did you chose this mother to do this.  God said 'I chose this mother to be the mom of a child with autism because she is my speical mother I wanted to raise a child with autism

Autism spectrum disorders is not an easy disorder to live with.   You never know what will happen when or where or why.   Your child could bolt for no reason, your child can melt down at the drop of a hat, your child can scream and theres no stopping them.   24/7 your live is on a rollercoster where it stops no one knows.  

Then add Neurofibromatosis to the mix along with ADHD and you have my live 24/7.   and then add the daily live of teens and the issues teens face and you have my daughters.  
Live with autism can be a lonely experience but you just have to keep your head held high and go on no matter what.
