People think they know the entirety of a person because they know their diagnosis. That’s obviously not true, but it can cause heartbreak and isolation. People may not “get” you or what your life is really like. […]

Wow Tabitha, that is intense! We all do what we got to do and it sounds like you’re a great mom! I love your phrase! I’ll have to adopt it too!

Because I get it.
I know every texture within 50 feet of us and which ones he will dart into traffic to touch.
Thankfully, he is less oral than he used to be, because he used to NEED to LICK every floor that we walked on, do you know how many different floorings are in your average store? A LOT! Why do they need to have carpet, and tile, and wood floors, and rugs, and anti fatigue mats, and runners, and anti slip mats, and grooves, and , and and!!!!. He would have a total meltdown if you wouldn’t let him lick the floor at every transition. So we had a LOT of meltdowns…floors are GROSS. (I was so jealous of the moms with children who they could trust to just walk near them. I literally carried my guy almost everywhere till he was about 5. I still have to watch him VERY closely, but he is getting better at managing his urges. Or, maybe he just figured out what he needed to from all those nasty floors.
Because this used to be a typical day running errands…
Yes, I know that isn’t “good” to carry them everywhere… Thank you for the stares, random lady at the grocery store. And the kind advice from the stranger at the bank. Yes He’s big, Yes, I have major muscles from hauling him everywhere. Yes, he really keeps me on my toes. Yes, he’s getting kinda big for that stroller. Yes, he CAN walk, see… OH CRAP!, Thank you for telling me my kid is (yet again) face planted in the carpet!
It’s funny in hind sight, but frustrating in the moment. I have adopted the phrase “It’s all part of the adventure!” It helps put things into perspective.
