A very emotional layout for me, BUT this is Madison and what we go through on an average day.<br>Journaling: My daughter Madison is autistic. You would think that this type of diagnosis would be devastating news, and to many families it is, but to us it was a relief. Finally, some type of confirmation for what we already knew and had been observing and documenting with Madison for years. Not many children with an underlying disability are also diagnosed with Autism, but we were thankful. We are thankful that she will get the help that she needs at school and happy to get started on a plan. Yes she has cerebral palsy, but we knew there was something more…..more than what most children could ever be expected to handle, more than what any parent would ever think they can understand. There are many faces of Autism. I never know which one Madison will wake up with each morning, but I do what I can to help her make it through the day. What lies beneath is so much more. I used to feel sorry for myself, thinking about all the things that I would miss out on. But now I am sorry for Madison, sorry for what she is going to miss, sorry that I can’t always understand what she is trying to convey and sorry that I may be to blame for why this happened. “Never in my lifetime, has someone who has never spoken a word, said so much as my daughter Madison.January 31, 2006<br> Supplies: Basic Grey PP, Bazzill cs, Ranger Distress ink, Basic Grey undressed hardware and fibers, MM rub on alpha, puzzle piece.
