I believe in a support system and taught my son that he does not have a disability we did not use that word in our home we made it possible for him to believe in His process and he is a successful adult in the scope of what many said when he was growing up I appreciate that we strive and are our own humans without compromising others and those are some of the things I taught my son to embrace
