  • My parents passed away over 40 years ago, I'm 61, I really miss them so much, I talk to them every day and I can still hear them say, be your sweet self, my mom would say, and stop being so hardheaded , your doing it the hard way and slow down, my dad would say, he had a smile and a twinkle in his eyes that showed me he loved me. They taught my brothers and sisters , 9 of us, to clean , ( spotless clean ). All of us had respect for our parents, my mom is an angel , my dad had a big heart but didn't show his soft side very much, but I saw it a lot. They always said to eat all your food, and to get along with everyone. I'm a cleaning lady and I love my job, and I'm great at it, and I'm still the sweet person they taught me to be, thanks mom and dad . 🤗💕💕

I’ve often wondered if things like this would get easier for him as he gets older. Thanks for sharing. My son is also quite terrified of babies and toddlers because he associates them with crying. If he sees someone crying, he says himself that it starts a “chain reaction” and he just can’t help but cry himself. He gets so distressed when it happens. I hope this is also something that he can learn to cope with as he gets older. 😊

  • As someone who is autistic, this is just awesome. For him to say to her that he loves her and that she brings in peace is one of the biggest compliments/signs of affection that somebody with autism can give you because of how hard it is for us to open up and express that. Absolutely amazing speech he composed himself despite his visible anxiety. And you can tell that when he said that she brought peace to him that his older brother knew what that meant. And that's important. And she knows what it meant to because she started crying cuz she understands that it's not easy. People don't treat us very normally so when we have to get up and do things like this we are putting ourselves in a position we would never really want to be in and it is extremely hard and nerve-wracking.

    • Bless you. Well done. Any speech is hard for most people but you overcame any fears to do what am I sure was a great speech to those you love. Stay well and stay safe. And thank you for sharing your story.

    • A Milestone for you and your Beloved, Oliver! 🙌 I have some Aspie Characteristics and I was "forced" by the circumstances in life to go out of "my shell". It's been an up-and-down journey and I wish others wouldn't have to suffer for being belittled. Keep being Strong & remain United with Vulnerable People! Take it as "kind of a Mission". Be Resourceful to others. Be the Change you want to see made. Just in case if you'd like to listen/watch "Oldies" Music Vid's (especially from 80's), I created some time ago a PlayList: Music (assorted) Keep Safe (May 12 2023, Argentina) #LetsSupportVictimsofBullying #LetsNotNaturalizeBullying
