"Love leads us into mystery where no one can say what comes next, or how, or why." --Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg
Love Leads Into Mystery: Raising A Child With Asperger's
"Daniel teaches me that all rules are arbitrary, answers are illusory, future visions are incomplete. He teaches me about the psychic wounds I carry into my parenting, and my only choice is to heal myself. He teaches me to be more patient, more accepting, more tolerant not just of him but of other kids. I see a nine year old hyper boy out in public these days, and I don't get irritated with him; instead, I feel empathy and wonder how his parents are doing." A mother reflects on raising Daniel.
