When you see us in public with our son, please don't
Stare
Let your children stare or point
Make rude or uninformed comments
Be afraid
Be embarrassed
Pity him
Pity us
When you see us in public with our son, please do
Smile at us
Say hi
Ask if you must
Look beyond the scars and behaviors
Accept him
When you see us in public with our son, please know
This is hard
This is worth it
He is trying
We are trying
He loves us
We love him
"If a man loses pace with his companions,
perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music which he hears,
however measured, or far away."
however measured, or far away."
~Henry David Thoreau
