Playing Catch Up June 28th

posted this on Facebook

I went to Walmart today to pick up a cheap sprinkler. I stopped with Samantha and Jason at the McDonald's in the store and my son was well my #sonwithautism . He has a lovely vocal stim that is a high pitch note. always the same note. it can really hurt the eardrums at times. I sadly am used to glares and questioning looks. So I was a little surprised when a woman walked over to me and whispered in my ear "thank you for bringing him out to the store today. I really appreciate it." Huh......My Samantha asked what she said to me. I told her what was said and she looked confused. Why would it be a big deal to bring him to the store? I told her that there are a lot of Moms that don't take there kids like Jason to the store. It's just too hard. She smiled and said, "That lady was very nice." Yes baby, yes she was!

here were some responses.

  Angela Garner Ford It's a good woman who will give encouragement/support to other good women doing the best they can when everyone else gives "dirty" looks.

  Lindy Wagstaff I love it too when moms bring there kids like him to the store! Why should we hide our kids? They have the same rights as anyone else!

  Marci Nielson Tribe Melanie, you need to check out "The Imperfect Sisters" and their website "Shut up about your perfect kid." They have a Facebook presence, but right now I can't find it.

And of course, once I turned on the sprinkler Jason just loved it.
