What an incredibly beautiful boy you have! My heart goes out to you, Adam, and your entire family. I am struggling to find the right words to convey just how deeply Adam's story has touched me, and I'm coming up short. I don't know where you find the strength to continue fighting this battle, but you have my utmost admiration, as I am quite frankly in awe of all that you have endured.<br /><br />I myself have three children, Tom is 8 and has Asperger's Syndrome, (though he does not know this yet), Henry is 4, and Fiona is 2. I found out about Adam through a website called Post Pals because I have been looking for resources and opportunities to teach Tom how to be more empathetic and grateful for all that he has. It is quite common for individuals with Asperger's to struggle with feeling and expressing things like empathy and gratitude and Tom is no exception. I was hoping Adam will be interested in having a pen pal in Tom (and Henry, who can never be left out of anything and is the real leader of the bunch). It would help Tom immensely to learn about Adam and he and Henry are a rather entertaining pair, so Adam might find them fun. They would particularly enjoy making a video letter to send Adam. Also, we live just outside Cleveland, Ohio, so it might be nice for Adam to have some friends who don't seem so far off.<br /><br />I will be talking to my husband this evening about making a donation to assist you with Adam's medical expenses. I am afraid we cannot afford very much at this time, but I will be posting a link to Adam's story on my Facebook page and will begin to spread the word as much as I can. I desperately wish I could do more. May you be filled with strength, courage, and the knowledge that you are not alone.<br /><br />-LauraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888034732929727615noreply@blogger.com
