Have you ever wanted to say something, but didn't know how? Or maybe you didn't want to say something just in case it came true? As if speaking something gave a hypothetical situation a certain amount of power? Or maybe it's not a hypothetical situation, and you're increasingly aware of it.
Maybe one day you will have to say to people, "Yes, two of my children are on the spectrum." Or maybe you won't, but we all have our own situations in which we don't want to talk about, or to share with anyone because the moment we do, our lives fall apart and we can't stop crying or grieving.
Sometimes people make the awful assumption that I am quiet, or that I have nothing to say, but know that silence does not mean the absence of words. It's just that I'm choosing mine carefully.
