World Of Endless Possibilities
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

If you could spend one day as your child what would you think you would do? How would you try to communicate so that others around you could truly understand? What would you say? How would you feel?

I don't know, my son is so unique to me and his family...I don't think I want to change anything or to try and be him...I understand him...I understand what drives him and I know he tries hard to love...He expresses himself differently and I guess I am ok with that.

I would find some of the judgemental people and what causes them to not accept people who are different from them. I would like to live my life as my son to bet a view of the world through his eyes.

I have the advantage of knowing what it's like to be Autistic, but I would love to know what it's like for my client to be non-speaking. It would also be fantastic if I could experience exactly how being Autistic affects him personally, especially in terms of sensory processing, because while I'm far more similar to my client than to a neurotypical there are still huge differences between our experiences.

I can't say what I'd do if I were in the exact same situation as my client, but I imagine I would have given up at communicating by the time I reached his age, because no one's presented him with an effective form of communication and presumed competence. His ability to understand his situation and what's going on around him is always in question, even though it's obvious to me that he's aware and alert. I wouldn't particularly mind being non-speaking, but I would hate to be both non-speaking and assumed to be incapable of understanding.

I wish every day as well to just get in his mind body to see what he is thinking and feeling so much better understanding if was possible
