Oh muh gosh. This is way too cute. It feels like I won the lottery when Clee does something this sweet. Autism really makes me appreciate the little things, that's for sure.
Awe, isn't that a nice feeling? My daughter is 15 and still holds my hand when we walk anywhere. My son doesn't want to be touched, no hugs, no kisses, no hand holding. It's a rare occasion when he offers up a hug on his own and it feels like the sea has parted when he does!
I can relate to your photo. At 27, there are many times when J.W. will hold my hand. That is a gift.
Thank you for stopping by. I am so proud of Jeff and so appreciate the sacrifices his family have made. Being able to talk with him on skype was the best gift ever.
Autism isn't all bad...sometimes your 16 year old
So sweet! That is definitely not a bad thing:-)
