This is my son. He has a great personality. He is this amazingly strong individual. Most people look at him and make judgments based on his disability. Yes, he has a physical disability. Yes, he has a huge communication delay. Yes, he has pretty major global delays. I can admit these things, but I refuse to put limits on him.
At school, he is grouped with peers that have "profound" disabilities. I honestly do not think that he is appropriately grouped. His physical disability and global delays cause him to be grouped with this population of students. There is something more to him, though. I know I am his mother and I am automatically biased, but there is more going on inside his little head than any of us really know. You can see it in his eyes. I truly believe that he is a boy who is trapped inside his body.
It takes time to look past what is on the outside.
