Even though we live this life, and I run this Facebook page about it - there are still moments that come out of nowhere and feel completely surreal to me. Today I was reading a beautifully crafted and well-thought out e-mail from our therapist in regards to a little lesson she can give to the kids at daycare about autism... A therapist is going to daycare to explain to the other children why Lila is so different - that she - our daughter - has autism. I felt like I was having an out of body experience, having fleeting thoughts of the before times, when thoughts of this neuro-developmental disorder had not yet entered into our daily lives. Yet here I am today, here at my full-time job: trying to sneak-read Life, Animated, work on new PECS cards for Lila, prepare for our home visit from the OK Healthcare Authority in regards to TEFRA approval, Google autism news/ articles/ studies as I have every single day for the past year and a half, and help Janet plan a lesson to help teach the other daycare children about autism. I mean..... wait, what? There never has been (and I suspect never WILL BE) time to truly digest ANY of this, and thats probably for the best. We just keep going, keep working, keep fighting - always keep moving forward.
