an autistics dream - by sara gardner

January 14, 2010

I look forward to meeting Sara soon. Whenever I tell an educator, caregiver, medical professional, or even someone in the autism community that my son does not have a disability, he has asperger’s or is neurodiverse, I get all kinds of hell. I get criticized for being a mother in denial, even though I am very outspok…en and active on his behalf and others. When I see how well his brain functions in certain areas, it often makes me feel like I’m the one with the disability!
