Her Words

As we drove home from school, on the crowded highway, zooming in and out of traffic, my daughter said these words to me. I was struck by how easily she thought of them, by how far she has come, and by just how full my heart is with pride for who she is. School hasn’t always been easy for her. The autistic spectrum gives her another view of the world. Not less, just different. I asked her if she minded if I shared her words on a poster, she said, “Sure.”
