You GO mama bear!! Way to put Mr. Politician-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named in his rightful place🙌 We can only hope that the scales will be removed from his eyes and the hate from his heart. How blessed we all are to have the beautiful heart and soul of J in our lives💜 I adore his note to God🥹 and your righteous defense of his incredible spirit 😘🥰

It was the sweetest note ever. Yes, I don't have a lot of hope that politician will change anytime soon, but I hope he does because he's sure missing out on some fantastic people in this world. Thanks, Marla, we love you!!

Autism destroys the golden pedestal upon which efficiency and productivity reside.—- I love this. He reminds me of this daily and I am so much better for it.

Yes yes yes 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 the Beatles couldn’t be more right “all you need is love”. It’s hard to teach my Star Wars loving boy to look at each situation with kindness when all he wants to do is use a blaster and lightsaber. But kindness is all around if only we have eyes to see it ♥️

“All you need is love” - what a simple yet legendary song that is🎵 💞 Thanks so much for reading and commenting, Amanda! Ah, little boys 😂 I mean, my boy is full of love, but he’s also full of fart jokes and rambunctiousness 🫠 Haha, it’s all part of the wild fun around here!

This is beautiful and thanking for bearing your heart. What destroys are narrow minds that say words that do not speak a truth. Some of the most precious hearts and humans I’ve met are those labeled autism and the humans that love them.

@Ray Katharine Cohen tho you identify as a mama of a nuerodivergant child and not necessarily autism, I think this poem will very much still touch your heart 🥰🥰😘
