About Sam
My Child With Autism
Like each and every one of us my child is unique, he is special, and he is also autistic
The condition is part of him, yet it is the beauty he possesses that defines him
His uniqueness is my joy, his smile my inspiration
Humbling to us is his ability to forgive, his lack of malice, his acceptance of all
He will not judge a book by its cover, he will look for the beauty beneath
Such qualities within are what sets him apart, not the disability immediately seen
My life is not blighted by what could have been
As a lot has been learnt on the journey travelled, although long and unforeseen
The courage I possess, the proudness I feel, the joys of being called mummy are honest and real
My reason for being, the light of my life, my baby, my boy, my achievement in life
I want to thank you son for being you
My perfect child, so courageous, honest and true
