It IS You!!!

You can be anything you want to be and more. In fact, you are already something; everything.
Be passionate. Stay creative. Keep your dreams alive. You can be great at all you do; just do it all with love. You can do it all you just have to give it your all. Do your best. Each day, do the best you can and learn something new. Teach someone something without them even knowing. If you have it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand. Life is filled with infinite possibilities. There should be no limit to what you can dream. Just go for it. Reach for what you desire and do not hold back. Do it for your own good and for the benefit of your mind, body, and soul. No one can tell you that you are not capable or you can't do something. Never. You prove them wrong, not by words but with your actions. Your work will be in silence but your success will make the noise. Some people will not be able to handle it: those aren't your people. Look within and you will not be without. There is a great gift inside of you that you are to share with the world. You are doing an excellent job sharing thus far. It is superb what you have created already in only 10 years of life. You are a great professor. I am so happy you are YOU! Together, our family is showing the world that autism is not bad word rather a conversation piece. Turning negatives into positives and breaking every single stereotype out there. You can and you will do it. Forget that, you can and you ARE doing it. Autism IS your super power.

To JJ with LOVE

He is perfect in my eyes. He is my son.
He is pure and innocent. He is love and affection.
He's an old soul an indigo child; wise beyond his years.
He is sweet and he is kind. He is unique.
This makes him perfect.
I guess you can say he is perfectly imperfect. What is perfection anyhow? Perfect is subjective; with a special meaning or meanings according to whom you may ask. Does it exist? Yes it does but only when we believe.

JJ is not going to be something one day because he IS somebody today. He is an artist, scientist, musician, explorer..and so on. I do not ask him what he wants to be when he grows up. That is a limiting question. What else do you want to do when you get older? That is more like it. He is being taught that you do not just have to be one thing and pick one career and have just one passion and path in life.That limits his potential. His potential is infinite. He can and do whatever he chooses. Life is meant to be lived fully and enjoyed each day. In reality it is all of the little things that add up to make life amazing. It is all about a growth mindset and life long learning.

He is funny. He is a clown. He is kind to others. He loves children and babies. He respects himself and others. He loves science and art. He is an amazing swimmer. He is perfect in my eyes. He is my son.

The grades on his report card do not mean anything; what matters is that he knows it is OK not know but it is not OK to not try. Never give up and make mistakes because mistakes are proof that we are trying. What did you get on that test is not an imperative question but rather how did you feel taking the test? Did you try your best? Yes that is all that counts. In five years we will not remember that grade but we will remember how we felt.

I love you JJ. If you dream it you can do it!

Autism is your super power.

JUST DO IT!!!!
