@precioushill_: Honestly this was such an amazing feeling to see her be on her own. We were not sure how effectively she would be able to express her needs since she does not talk but she was able to and they understood! I remember crying the first time we took the twins to school after being homeschooled and they surprisingly loved it! I think the main thing is that we (as parents) or at least in my experience, do not give our kids enough credit with what they learn from us. We spend all of our days teaching and then worrying that they weren’t listening when it’s time to let them go and live. I always say, at some point I will not be there to hold your hand and you will have to learn to hold your own hand. This was one of those times and she did it, AND I didn’t have a nervous break down. Win Win situation altogether 😂♥️ #asd #parenting #autism #autismawareness #childcare #marriage
