So, instead of concentrating on these unending, open-ended questions, I choose to focus on my teaching of kids with autism and moving forward to serve others going through what I am going through. God has given me great ideas. Chasing Away, my FB group of mothers of children with various disabilities, is one outlet for my pain. I find support with these ladies and I am also able to give support.
My second, God given, idea is my "Care. Don't Stare!" campaign which I have not yet started. My brother-in-law did the artwork on my logo...
The basic principal behind this campaign is the following;
I would like to educate the general public on how to respond to a person with disabilities and their family when out in a public place. There is so much information out there about what not to do. Many people think that just ignoring the family and the individual is the best plan, when that is actually offensive to most families. I would like to put a list of "Caring Actions" the public could choose instead of just ignoring the individual and their family. (I am planning to use the input of others to create this list)

I am still developing the whole idea, but I think this is a campaign that is needed.
I will continue to use the Word of God, my relationship with God, my faith, and my service to others to fight pain. This is a battle easily won with Jesus Christ on my side :)
