I don't know what to do

He's three years old. His name is Nathan Tyler. He has bright reddish-orangish hair and big blue eyes. His smile can melt any heart, and he is the sweetest, most amazing kid in the world. He's so innocent and good and such a happy child. I love him like he's my own baby.

He's in the hospital right now.

And he might not make it.

He was at a birthday party. He fell and hurt his spine really badly. He had to be air-lifted to Albany Med. He's so constipated and everything because of it that if he doesn't get surgery soon enough, he won't make it.

I need him to be ok. His family needs him to be ok. He's three years old, for Gods sake. He has his whole fricking life ahead of him. Why do things like this happen?? I don't get it! I don't understand it. I'm angry and upset and I don't even know what other feelings. How does something like this happen? Why? I've been crying for the last 40 minutes. I love him like he's MY kid. He is my whole world. He has to be ok. Dear God, I don't know what I'll do if he's not.

I don't want to think the worst, but I can't help it. Please, please, please don't let him leave this world too soon. He's still a baby. He hasn't gotten to do anything in life yet. I don't want to have to go to a funeral for an angel baby boy who doesn't deserve for something like this to happen. He has to make it. I need him to.

Dear Little Me - Letter(s) to my younger self

Dear Little Me, You're three.  You've just become a big sister, so life is changing so much right now.  It's okay.  You're so smart, smarter than a 3 year old really has any right to be.  The world is big, and you're so little - and you discovered that books are an escape from everything, even though you don't know yet that that's what you're doing, escaping from the confusing and ever changing world into the familiarity of your books.  Hop on Pop never changes no matter how many times you read it.  One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish is the same story every time.  Fox In Socks? Green Eggs & Ham?  The entire series of Spot the dog books?  No matter how big or loud or scary the world is, they stay the same and there’s something comforting about that.  Something about that feels safe and just feels right.  And that's okay.  There isn't anything wrong with you.  You're autistic; you just don't know it yet. Don't Take Th...

Eight Months Later

Image
Eight months ago today, I was diagnosed as autistic.  And some days I feel like I’m still processing that diagnosis.  It’s something that, for so long, I had thought/suspected about myself and I thought, because I’d thought it for so long, that that knowing wouldn’t change anything.  And in some ways, most ways, nothing in my life has changed except that   I   know now and so do other people.  I mean, I’d started accommodating myself before that diagnosis – I got a weighted blanket for when I was experiencing anxiety or restlessness or just couldn’t sleep; I bought Loop earplugs to help with noise and started wearing them to things like concerts or hockey games or even the plays that we go to; I keep fidget toys at my desk at work; hell I even started keeping my hair short so it wouldn’t be   touching  me because I hate that sensory experience so much – so in my head, I thought it would be the same, I’d just be more knowledgeable about myself....

The Next President...

I didn't sleep last night; I was too afraid that America was going to make the worst possible decision.  And we did.  Somehow, Donald Trump became the president-elect.  Somehow, enough people actually voted for him.  Somehow, people support his racism , sexism , homophobia , Islamophobia .  Somehow, people were able to look past not only the fact that he has virtually no political experience and was the least qualified candidate for the job, but they were also able to look past the way he treats women and the fact that he's sexually assaulted multiple women.  (Wondering why it takes people so long to come forward about abuse?  Because we live in a country where their assailant can become leader of the free world.) A Trump presidency scares me so much. It’s not solely because of him, not only because he’s a republican, but because we’re going to spend the next four years with a republican-controlled house and senate. Because the Trump and Pence are...
