I am excited to get back to the real world and work a full-time schedule. In the back of my mind, I wonder how this will all work, and hope that all goes well. Who am I kidding? This is autism – and it never goes as planned. I am lucky to have a great family that helps, but don’t really want the burden to fall on them, so I will work hard to make it work. In this world of 1 in 100 kids – I would hope to think that companies, and people are starting the hear the word “autism” more often, and start to understand it’s complexities.
The strangest part about all of this is, that if Phoebe could put in to words how she is feeling about all this–I believe she would say the same thing. She is excited to get back to school, be on a schedule, and hopes her anxiety doesn’t get the best of her.
Maybe we aren’t really that much different. Here’s to a good year. 😉
