Mom, I love you, SPONTANEOUSLY!!!

[Guest guest]

Last night as we were putting to bed, I heard say

something that sounded like, " I love you, Mom. " I wasn't sure if I'd

heard him right, but I immediately responded with, " I love you, . "

Later I said to my husband, " I would almost swear that he said, 'I love

you, Mom, " and DH said, " That's what he said. "

It's the first time I have heard him say that spontaneously. I have

gotten him to repeat, " I-love-you, " at bedtime but I've never heard him

say that just out of the blue.

Maybe there's hope after all!!!

Of course there's hope. People with autism continue to develop and

learn during their entire lives. We aren't at all the same at ages 30

or 50 or 60 that we were as children -- that is, if people have not

given up, still support our learning, and we continue to have new

experiences to learn to adapt to.

When I was diagnosed at age 8 I couldn't hold a conversation. And now,

here I am, trying to teach people about autism.

Yes, this is wonderful, and I do remember my son telling me this for

the first time.

Just wait for the hugs and kisses, those are nice, too.
