Autism is so close to our hearts. It's nearly one year since our amazing little Rory was officially diagnosed. The reality of autism can be so hard, but also so beautiful and eye opening. What's hard, is that the world is simply not accepting of individuals with autism. This is sad, because actually autism and those people with it, are beautiful. They see the world through a different lens, and that lens is the best!
I am so lucky to have a son with this lens. He is the happiest and most loving child. And though some days can be sad, it's not Rory that makes it so. It's the world judging him, and that his ways are not accepted as 'normal'. There's a common view that if somebody is autistic, there is something wrong with them ... And actually, the reality is, there is something wrong with society!
So as a mum to an autistic child, I plead with the world ... Be Kind... Be Accepting of all differences and Be Open Minded.
