I think in the years to come they will find that Autism is not what they think but rather, as so lovingly expressed here, rather a sensitive's soul journey back to a cruel earth, encapsulated into an innocence shell that cannot be easily broken into or reached. It truly is as if they, the children who are autistic, are freed and untied to anything that is weighed down by vice and only live through virtue. Their actions are not those whose gensis is anything outside of purity. Perhaps we have it all wrong here - perhaps the reason so many are being born this way is to teach all of us the lessons we need to learn. Perhaps they are the ones who are our teachers for they have truly been touched by God's sweet Hand and though they travel through this world, they remain untouched by it's harshness. Maybe this is our hope for mankind and they are the Angels sent to the world to help uplift all of us to see things differently, to help remind all of us how grateful we should be in all things, to always count our blessings and to realize that being different is okay, especially when that "difference" is so kind, compassionate and filled with sweetness. There is no doubt that he chose Ryan and Liz as his parents and his choice was perfect for their are two spectacular individuals who are not only giant in their love, but perfect examples for all to see how we should all behave and respond to the myriad blessings in our lives.

Avery is a gift to us all. Some misinformed people think autism means that a person is retarded. Not so. The autistic child can enter into the world of magic and draw us in behind him. He is brilliant in his own way and our lives are more special because of it.Terri Lynn Merrittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160638878018457643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625061512260313243.post-20338166038181904872011-01-09T18:50:09.645-08:002011-01-09T18:50:09.645-08:00I was truly touched while reading this essay.
