We can Change the World

The other day I was chatting with a friend and she was telling me about when her son was diagnosed with autism.

And she said…

‘I knew I couldn’t change autism, so I decided I had to change the world.’

I’ve been thinking about it nonstop.

Because, see friends, in the beginning, I didn’t have a lot of support. Or resources. Or knowledge of my son’s mysterious disorder and…I thought my purpose was to change it. I didn’t understand.

Now I do.

And this amazing mama, she knew what I wish I knew all along.

So, here is what I have to say to you. To the moms and dads out there who just heard the word autism out loud and the ones in the middle who are feeling weary and even the ones in the in-between spaces who feel lost.

Let’s change the world. For these kids. These teens. These adults. These mamas and dads who are in the very beginning. Who’s with me?

We ride at dawn. ❤️❤️

We can’t change autism. But we can change the world.
