You have to be patient

The other day during Joseph’s home visit, while he was waiting for his sister to get a wagon ride, he looked at me and said, “YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT IN LIFE AND TAKE TURNS!” as he was pacing back and forth. He has come a long way to say that, in the past, he would have had a meltdown if he didn’t get what he wanted right way! He is maturing right before my eyes, and trying very hard to control his impulses and anxiety!!

It’s just amazing for me to see and brings tears to my eyes. He can teach an adult a thing or two! Lol

He is such an inspiration to many, being only 15, and all the obstacles he has faced and overcome this far, many more than most adults will ever have to face or overcome in their entire lifetime!

Coming from a child with very challenging behaviors, I couldn’t be more proud….. – Annie
