Autism Island Theme

Posted by Priscila - 07/21/08, 12:39 pm

We love all our children, we care oh so much
on DS we talk,laugh, supoport,stay in touch.
But if we had chance and in dreaming, we do...
we'd hop off to and island, where dreaming comes true.

Autism island.... a beautiful place
filled with contentment,with love and with grace,
with hours of sunshine and nights filled with joy
where no-one will badger us, or try to annoy

with Palm trees on white sand and tropical sounds
knowing it is only pure love that surrounds
for in dreaming we know we can do as we please
we can lay on white sands and get high on sea breeze

we can drift from reality, finding a place
to heal all that's broken, and at our own pace
we can truly be 'us', oh it sounds so divine
when will autims island........be mine?!

we often say in hard times 'we will get our reward'
one day...we'll be floating on the islands surf board
for as true as i write this, one day we will feel
the great autism island, in our life, for real!

so never stop dreaming......keep hold of your thoughts
so when things get so tough and you feel really fraught
just stop for a moment and imagine the best..........
Autism island...let your dreams do the rest!

so many new ppl here, i want to make sure you all know how i feel about all of you and your strength to keep going even when you feel like you cant make another day....

Hi all, I just want to tell all of you that I think each and every one of you are great gifts from God, I read in the discussions some of you ask why you and your child have to deal with this Autism. As someone on the outside looking in for the most part, I was not a part of Adams life when he got the dx, I could not imagine the hurt it causes. Yet, each of you stick it out and keep your children safe and meet their needs and you are all selfless in a way most people can not even begin to comprehend. Mother Teresa said, "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He would not trust me so much." An awful lot of trust has been bestowed on all of you to take care of His children. What a blessing and challenge. I am lucky, I GET to take care of Adam. I do not have to do it. I could have said no, but I chose to do it. Most of you know his mother did not want him because he is not perfect enough for her, that is the God's honest truth. But his dad would not have ever considered letting him go and I am grateful for that. I hope this is something that I was meant to do. I can only believe that God made this happen for Adam, just like He made all of you there for your kids. The fact that you have not given up speaks for itself. We all have stress and second guess probably most everything, but from what I can tell on here each and everyone of you are going above and beyond for your families and that takes courage and strength from so deep inside that most people never see that part of themselves.
I know this should have been a journal entry but I wanted to make sure that everyone had the chance to read this if they wanted to.
God has blessed you all and you will be rewarded in ways you can not begin to understand right now, don't every forget that :)
