Cats, dogs and Asperger's Syndrome.
I don't know how I missed this article earlier in the week on Mamamia. It is wonderful, and oh, so true. I read this and I see my beautiful sons, and imagine the writer's beautiful daughter.
Whether you have a child on the Autism Spectrum, know someone who does, or just want to learn, be understanding and compassionate to families that live like this every day, please, please give this a read. It is honestly so real and true.
All cats have Aspergers! In fact, my daughter recently 'came out' as autistic at her high school with the help of the coordinators there and they used this book. The book explains everything.
ReplyDeleteThat was a truly beautiful article. And I grew up with both dogs and cats and in my declining years I am firmly a cat person.
ReplyDeleteThough seriously, it is a wonderful analogy.
