Blessings

By Philip

There are a lot of blessings in autism.  I am hoping in God easily.  Questions and answers about life concern me greatly.  Today I thought about each person the earth has.  You cannot appreciate each one but God can.  He created each person with a purpose to do good works.  I am questioned about my worth because I cannot function by myself.  I need someone always checking on me.  I even need a person to help me talk.  It is frustrating but it is no worse than living poor or each day not having my health.  Challenges are a part of life.  They touch our plot in life to be a part of God's overall plan.  Many people don't understand the ease of believing in God as an Autistic like me.  I have pondered God ever since I was little.  I understand what it is like to depend on God because I am each day dependent on others. I care to teach the world about autism as one who is experiencing it.  I have a very important task to say we non-verbal people are thinking, not dumb.  We are headed to bright futures if given a chance.  No human is without dignity.  Each person is made in God's image and is deserving of respect and attachment to his Creator.  I am a servant of God to do His will that will bear hope to non-verbal Autistics and their families. Attachment to God is my greatest blessing. 

Philip has been enjoying a lot of "normal" Halloween activities this year.  He participated in his school's Fall Fun Night, went trick or treating, and went to a class Halloween party.
