Cayden


Cayden is amazingly brilliant and has been blessed with a gift that allows him to see the world in a way that others have forgotten or never learned. Because of this, his spectrum of possibilities are endless and I look forward and feel greatful to be blessed with the ability to make the journey with him.
He is high functioning autistic. What does this mean to him? absolutely nothing! He will coninue to view the world with his carefree heart and optimistic, innocent eyes. What does this mean for me? A lesson in patience and a greater need to protect him from people who have no understanding or who may label him as anything other than the amazing little man he is!
We have been blessed to have Cayden involved in a program that allows him to work with people that will not let him slip through the cracks of "public education." I wish I had the means to educate everyone on what autism is...maybe one day.
