likely will remember that forever as well thanks so much for sharing it march 9 2014 11 40 pm reply cancel jean yates please do not misunderstand me i would never ever tell you that what you have gone through and will go though is anything less that what we went though just because we did it a generation ago in fact the way i see it two machetes are better than one and it is comforting to me to have met you in fact i have had your button on my sidebar for around a month because i like it so much xox jean march 10 2014 6 49 am reply cancel kristi campbell so sorry if i made it sound like we are going through less that was not my intent at all and if anything i think it must have been much harder before autism and special needs were a part of school s awareness and curriculum it s still obviously a button for me but seriously i feel so much for parents who dealt with issues like the one my son has before they were more understood love the two machetes are better than one analogy and didn t realize that you love somebody with a developmental delay as well until you said so now i ve admired your beading skills and jewelry but really had no idea i d love to hear more if you d like to share i also have an our land series if you want to check it out i accept stories about personal struggles and finding empathy for them thank you so much for getting back to me march 11 2014 12 14 am reply cancel lizzy muddle headed mamma what a brilliant list it s what i wished i d read before i became a teacher i have heard many conversations numbers 3 and 5 i think that s an essential discussion to make everyone aware of the spectrum is broad and individual children have individual needs march 9 2014 10 21 am reply cancel kristi campbell i think it s an important conversation to have as well and hate that this stuff is not more federally mandated they re saying 1 50 kids now even if they re wrong and it s still 1 88 or 1 120 it s too many to not have programs for march 9 2014 11 41 pm reply cancel brittnei aw now i feel bad like i m in denial about tucker i feel like i know him and that no he doesn t have autism the doctors just don t know what they re talking about i remember the post you shared about him going on a prom date sometime in the future and being normal he is normal is that bad that i look at him this way when i read your blog i know autism doesn t always look the same but you and tucker are like my next door neighbors that i visit regularly or something perhaps i look at him as normal because i never once did or thought any of these things about him that many people think when they see an autistic kid even after hearing so many stories about him i know you experience things that moms with kids who aren t autistic may not experience but so many things you share is the same as what i go through mostly in my life with my son and family i still think tucker will be fine but i totally hear these moms march 9 2014 11 08 am reply cancel kristi campbell aw sweets don t feel bad i m in denial about tucker too you do know him and you don t too because of course it s much harder to write about the stuff that is weird quirky than the stuff that s the same i think that it s important to write about the same though because although he is different he really is he s also sooo much more the same than he s different ya know like he wants friends loves his best buddy wants to be tickled and cuddled and tries to manipulate us so from your perspective he is the same i hope you will meet him one day and that i can meet yours as well and can t wait to see photos of the new baby hurry up lol do not hurry that was a joke i know so much of it s the same i get where you are it s also different because tucker is 4 1 2 and has a hard time with things that some 2 year olds don t his language comes hard to him too hard to be fair but it s coming which is lucky because some of his friends don t really speak much at all so we have that and we re blessed march 9 2014 11 46 pm reply cancel ruchira just today i met a mom who volunteers her time at pace i got to know so much about this organization that it brought tears in my eyes and i am seriously thinking of giving my time to such an orgaization that is trying to bring so much to kids and their parents just reading your blog makes me realize the pain kristi all i wanna do is hug you my friend hang in there cause i definitely see light at the end of this tunnel march 9 2014 4 34 pm reply cancel kristi campbell wow really ruchira that s so wonderful that your friend volunteers i love that and please also know that any pain that parents like me feel is more than worth it we don t see our kids as anything but our kids most of the time sure we notice their differences but to us they don t seem like they should affect people wanting to know who they are because they are amazing and awesome and also thank you i see light now too march 9 2014 11 49 pm reply cancel kristi campbell also not sure what pace is but i was talking about pac which is to preschool autism class so if pace is something big i apologize for not knowing about what that means yikes sorry about that assumption march 9 2014 11 51 pm reply cancel lisa golden spoons love it i felt some of these same thing when i taught special needs preschoolers i had one in particular who had behavioral issues and the other teachers educational professionals would seem so annoyed when he had a meltdown in the middle of the hall or during an assembly their looks said volumes even though they said nothing march 9 2014 10 10 pm reply cancel kristi campbell oh lisa i hate that you know the look every kid deserves compassion and the fact that they were instead considered a pain in the butt well sad march 9 2014 11 52 pm reply cancel sylvia thanks for sharing at ff i hope you ll come again march 9 2014 11 41 pm reply cancel kristi campbell of course friend march 9 2014 11 53 pm reply cancel nina kristi i love love this i love how you write period and thank you for sharing this you invite us into your world with clarity and heart and i can t help but admire you for being fair and patient with us parents who aren t raising special needs kids it s so easy to assume or freak out or react but in the end all our kids are still kids kids who need us to be kind to them not to give them awkward looks and stares march 10 2014 11 02 am reply cancel kristi campbell cheers to all kids just being kids that right there is why i probably have this blog and i thank you for saying so and recognizing that so much march 10 2014 11 37 pm reply cancel jenkehl my skewed view this reminds me a lot of my our land it s all so true isaiah has bad days and great days and few in between and the truth is i never know what we re going to get which leads to some nerve wracking days this is a great post i am sure it will help a lot of non bloggers march 10 2014 7 16 pm reply cancel kristi campbell thanks tttx10 jen i guess we never know and honestly i really do hope it helps although i also feel like we didn t say that much new but also know it s new to some parents hopefully i mean i hope anyway i know you get it and thank you march 10 2014 11 44 pm reply cancel michelle every kid is different it s crazy to lump everyone together thanks for sharing it i m going to pass it along too i think it s important for people to understand that autism is has a broad spectrum and everyone has a different normal march 10 2014 10 39 pm reply cancel kristi campbell thanks michelle you re right that every kid is different and i guess what i m trying to say is that i hope everybody can learn to accept our atypical kids the way they just assume we ll accept theirs i think that s the take away march 10 2014 11 47 pm reply cancel crystal what a wonderful post kristi i m going to share this with some parents i know who are struggling with autism and pushing their kiddo awfully hard reading these words might make a difference march 11 2014 8 34 am reply cancel kristi campbell thanks so very much crystal i know a family who is really struggling right now too and trying to push their son to do things that he s really not ready for it s hard thanks again march 28 2014 9 59 am reply cancel lady lilith acceptance is the key i work with special needs children and so many people feel sorry for them i find if you accept any child or who they are you can raise the bar and help them reach the next level march 11 2014 11 27 am reply cancel kristi campbell yes yes yes to please don t feel sorry for special needs kids acceptance is everything march 28 2014 10 00 am reply cancel andie thanks for sharing this awareness great insights on this post march 12 2014 6 11 am reply cancel kristi campbell thanks andie march 28 2014 10 00 am reply cancel linda atwell out one ear oh kristi yes tucker looks perfect he looks exactly like lindsey did at that age i could see some differences but not enough and besides she looked so frickin normal typical some people said i had nothing to worry about other s said her traits weren t typical it was a confusing time especially since she was my first too then we had michael who whizzed past his sisters milestones and surpassed her quick but still we thought she would catch up every story is different lindsey didn t catch up and the gap widened and the older she got she often had a untypical look about her that i d never noticed when she was small i think the gap just finally widened enough between her peers and herself that oh i finally had to admit that she really was what the doctors said but that is a different story i love the list i love the first line the word autism entered my heart as a whisper i love the preface thanks for another awesome post march 12 2014 12 46 pm reply cancel kristi campbell thanks so much linda it really is a confusing place especially when different people have differing opinions of tucker and that he may catch up or whatever march 28 2014 10 05 am reply cancel a morning grouch love this post so so good i teach my students who are learning about autism the old adage you ve met one person with autism you ve met one person with autism try to beat that in their brains all of us are unique individuals on the spectrum are no different march 12 2014 7 24 pm reply cancel kristi campbell yes yes all of us are unique thanks so much march 28 2014 10 14 am reply cancel monika sharma absolutely right this post is really amazing i appreciate such a wonderful easily explanation which a mom must know great post march 13 2014 3 07 am reply cancel kristi campbell thanks much monika march 28 2014 10 16 am reply cancel the monko what a great post many of the behaviours you listed when your son was young are things my son did too including the head banging and running laps so i get why you might be concerned and yet not convinced i never know when a child is making funny noises or acting in a quirky way whether it is better to look or not look its really helpful to have some mum s perspectives on what they d like from me i usually try a glance and a smile and hope that that conveys your child is sweet and while your child s behaviour is interesting to me it is in no way bothering me so please don t feel stressed by me even if they don t get that from it i hope the smile says hey we are all parents together march 13 2014 9 27 am reply cancel kristi campbell i think a glance and a smile meant to convey that the mom shouldn t be stressed by you is perfect and yes we re all parents together above all differing abilities thanks much march 28 2014 10 25 am reply cancel courtney conover wow kristi just wow numbers 7 8 and 9 made the levies break i m all out bawling over here i don t have an autistic child so i m not even going to begin to say i know what parents of autistic children go through day in and day out however i do know that judgment regardless of the reason hurts like a bitch the way scotty has been perceived based solely on his language delay has brought out a level of frustration in me that i didn t know i was capable of feeling people can be mean very mean even now though he has made tremendous strides and we are not fighting the same fight i am grateful for what his challenges have taught me about him and other children beautiful post kristi thank you march 13 2014 11 21 am reply cancel kristi campbell sorry courtney to have made you cry i hate that you too know the judgement and that people have been mean it s sad how judgmental people can be without knowing what they re talking about i hope that we can all get closer to a place in which each of us is more accepted for who we are and not for what we may struggle with xo march 28 2014 10 36 am reply cancel tracie the thing that sticks out to me from this list is how often possibly well meaning people who do not have medical degrees try to argue or disagree with the diagnosis you have received from an actual doctor that is very frustrating march 13 2014 6 56 pm reply cancel kristi campbell i know what you mean tracie people don t know what to say or do i honestly think that most people are well meaning but at times can be hurtful and insensitive thanks so much for coming by march 28 2014 10 37 am reply cancel julia starr arnold i love love love this post he is so lucky to have you julia frantic mama march 14 2014 12 40 am reply cancel lisa the meaning of me it s been far too long since i ve been over here huh life s been a bit nuts how are you i loved this our special needs kids are here on purpose and outloud i m always hesitant to jump in on a discussion like this because i fear someone will say i have no business but i think special needs is as wide a swath as the autism spectrum there are all different kinds this line fits and i can t tell you how great and how well timed this list and post are for me right now as always you have such wonderful insights here i ll be back for more lots to catch up on and tucker by the way is gorgeous march 22 2014 10 55 pm reply cancel kristi campbell hi lisa i m doing well thanks and no worries i know you ve got lots going on these days me too being as i m seeing this comment six days later yikes also you have my expressed permission and even encouragement to jump in any time because everybody has business when it comes to accepting people for who they are all the time hope you re having a great week march 28 2014 10 39 am reply cancel sam gee beautifully written you re pretty awesome such a familiar story but you have a wonderful way of putting into words things that i have a hard time saying 3 march 28 2014 3 25 pm reply cancel seana turner wonderful insightful and poignant post i have someone in my life who has this and to be honest of all of the young adults teens in my life she is the happiest yes there are unique struggles but i ve learned so much from her sharing your perspective is the kind of thing that will ultimately make the greatest difference march 29 2014 1 48 pm reply cancel lillian ...
