THE MORNING MYSTERY FROM CHAOS TO LOVE
Mornings with my neurodiversity son can be, well, interesting. One minute he's refusing to wake up, and resisting the start of the day with every fiber of his being. It's like he's allergic to mornings! But then, something magical happens. As we're getting ready for the bus, he transforms into a loving, affectionate child, telling me "I love you" at least 10 times, like nothing ever happened.
It's as if the morning struggles never occurred, " It's a daily rollercoaster of emotions, but one that I cherish deeply.
I've come to realize that my son's autism means his emotions and needs can shift rapidly. The morning struggles are just that – struggles – but the love he shows me before boarding the bus is genuine and pure. So, I'll take the chaos with the love, and respond to all 10 "I love you's" mom and have a good day at work with an open heart, knowing that our bond is unbreakable.
