This boy is our child, he's our love,
he's our aspiration.
This boy is our pride, he's our dream,
he's our legacy.
No one, not anything will take him away from us!
I don't care what statistics say,
I will make sure my boy never drifts away.
Away into that place of darkness,
where you are all alone.
Every morning I call your name
and I know one day you will call mine.
I promise you my son that I will never give up on you!
You son, are our hope, you're our light,
and you're our joy.
You son, are our promise, you're our delight
and you are our everything.
My son it's time for you to come home to us.

That means every 20 minutes another child in the world is diagnosed!
There is a 4:1 ratio in boys to girls having autism,
1 in 94 boys world wide are diagnosed with autism.
1 out of 6 children are diagnosed with a developmental disorder and/or behavioral problem.
Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability today.

Wow, that was so moving, it brought little tears to my eyes. I especially loved the line "I don't care what statistics say,
I will make sure my boy never drifts away." Incredible poem Shannon.
My hubby works with kids who have autism. Rarely does he meet parents with as much passion as you have. You are his biggest supporter and thats awesome to see.
My little family is in Harrison until Friday afternoon but I would love to try and come for dinner and a movie to see Nicci. I'll let you know.
And I promise to update my blog today.
