You may not spot the miracle here, but I certainly do. I’ve prayed for years to see my daughter be part of a group and yesterday that happened. She cared more about the girls then the games. She didn’t only do her ideas, she happily conceded to theirs. Why is this so important? For many reasons, but one is this: Research shows the biggest predictor of happiness at the end of your life isn’t health or wealth—it’s having a friend. Who will care for her when I’m gone? Her community. That’s why last night is a miracle. It’s a sign of connection. #autism #asd #autismspectrum #girlswithautism #neurodiversity #specialneedsfamily #autismblog
