Through my eyes

Wish i could take a day, just to see and hear the world through his eyes :)

The biggest heart you ever could imagine,
with his imagination beyond compare.
You may ask him to stop telling stories
but thats just how his mind compares.
You may wonder why he does not take of his coat inside
it makes him feel secure
everyone likes to feel secure.
When he was younger, even the toilet flushing was too loud for him
But his favorite thing to do was to be outside, i don't know why, do you?

Through his eyes, i hope he sees a world unconquered
A world at his fingertips
i like to think that he knows its ok to be different
in fact, it gives you an edge
if you can think like no other, than you can be the first to discover
but most importantly, if you have the biggest heart
you will put your all in what you do, because you will enjoy it from the start.

Intro to blog/ main idea

I decided i really  should start a blog about what I learn from work, then maybe people would understand the children I work with. Honestly, they never asked to be the way they are, they never asked to not be able to control their selves in crowded situations or change in routine, they never asked to not he able to do basic things we take for granted doing on our own. Trust me they notice when you stare. The truth is, helping these kids has opened up my eyes to how naive people are and how much people judge people who are different. If you took the time you would see these kids have more insight about life than most. 
And actually I'm quite thankful my brother is different, without him I probably could not handle this job, and god makes no mistakes I love him just the way he is.


So this blog, is really just a project that i decided to begin. 
I would like to get my family to write a few post. Just so we can get some different perspectives. 
I do not truly think that people understand the work that goes into a family with special needs. 
I have seen the struggles it has put on my mother, but without all her effort my brother would not be overcoming his obstacles he is and has. 

My goal is not to scientifically educate you on intellectual disorders but just to give you an insight on the thoughts and the lifestyle that is not as different as you may think. 

My family is not that different from yours, and the children i work with are not that different than your family. It may just take some finer planning to make a trip out and away, or it may just need the same routine, the same type of pajamas. 

My goal through this blog is to show people that these individuals are not as different as we may think. in fact, they could probaly teach you a thing or two about life just from being so observant. 

Naive Society

Different. 

We are told it is ok to be different. 

We are told it is makes the world better. 

If it makes the world better, why do people stare?

Why do people stare when i am having a melt down in the store?

I know what they are thinking. 

They are thinking that i am undisciplined and that my parents need to take control. 

My siblings walk away

They pretend to look at something, just to feel apart from the attention. 

Truth is, 

Inside i feel no control. 

My routine has changed and i don't know what to do. 

To you, it is no big deal, you can rearrange 

To me it is almost a feeling of helplessness

I did not choose to be this way

I can not say i like or dislike it, it is the only way i know. 

My parents worry. 

Will i go to college?

Will i be able to obtain a job?

Who will be there to take care when they are gone?

But, i do not think of the future

Because i think about what is happening now 

Thinking about my routine.

I am trying to be me. 

Everyone else is just staring
