Lauren had a meltdown at ballet which is nothing unusual. However, during the middle of it she cried and said "I don't want to be that girl with Autism. I want to be that normal girl. No one else my family is girl with Autism. I want to be like all of other people."
I knew it was coming, it didn't make it easier, but I knew it was coming.
And it sucks just as much as I thought it would.

Learning to stand with one leg firmly planted in the special needs world and one leg firmly planted in the typical world. And desperately trying not to fall
About Me
- Kristin
- I am Bible believing girly girl chasing and baby bouncing woman who has been married for almost ten years. I have three lovey ladies who are 7, 5, 3, and one brand new boy. I work full time during the day and my husband stays at home with the kids and works full time at night. It is definetely the hardest thing we have ever done. Did you know that 1 out of 100 kids has autism? And one of them is mine.

I read your comment on baseballs and butterflies blog. My son has Emanuel's syndrome which effects the 11th and 22nd chromosome. I was wondering if you were a part of c22c.org. We are on Facebook and have quite a team of support going for each other. My name is Jennifer and my son Jackson is 4. Is a duplication genetic? I noticed your other children don't have it.
Yep. It sucks to have that conversation with your child. Crying with you - Katie
