My child is not broken and doesn't need fixing!
The most hurtful thing a parent can hear is "what's WRONG with him"?! Excuse me! There is nothing wrong with my child.He is not broken and he does not need fixing or "CURED".He is a bright , sensitive (sometimes overly), curious,thoughtful little boy who views the world a little differently than most. The lesson that we all could learn from him is tolerance and acceptance. Nathan judges no one because he knows what it is like to be judged. He wants to form friendships but doesn't know how. We've been lucky enough to become friends with some families who not only accept him for who he is but celebrate him as much as we do. And even though he may not be able to make friends at school very easily he does have a great group of friends outside of school. In the end what Nathan wants is what we all do, to be loved unconditionally simply for who he is. I hope , with all my heart that he knows HE IS!
