Sometimes it takes a good slap in the face to come to your senses. It starts with the music class. Well, I should say the music class teacher. Miss Kara had seen my frustration with Aidan and my frustration with evaluation after evaluation to only be told that Aidan needs speech therapy. Kara gave my sister the book "Mother Warriors" written by Jenny Mcarthy. A book about many mothers who have had the strength to recover their children from autism. This set in motion a series of events that got us truly started to healing Aidan. Kara had the courage to give this book to my sis and Eva read it and thought to herself "my God this is my nephew"!!

It took Eva courage to then give me the book and share with me that she felt Aidan had ASD. I definitely fought it at first. I denied it and told her she was wrong, etc. She patiently waited and just prayed that God would bring me to my senses so I could stop wasting time and help Aidan. God answered her prayers. The final turning point was a pedicure. Yes a pedicure! My dear manicurist Nayer gave me a video about a group call TAG (the autism group). I fought her on it, but she said "just take the video!". I went home, watched it, and immediately call the organization and that's when I met Gail. I will talk more about her later. Amazing how God provides for us. It was all coming together for Aidan!
