"IT'S ALL MAGIC"
“GRAMPY…IT’S ALL MAGIC”
Is it all magic?
This is the way my 4 year old grandson sees life after returning home from a few days in Disney World…Wouldn't it be wonderful if it was all magic?
Meanwhile…his 14 year old brother, who is afflicted with autism….was committed a week later to a hospital ward in hopes of helping him find better ways to cope in a world that is anything but magic to him…A brilliant mind and a childlike soul riddled with anxiety based on his life perception.
So his parents do their best to cope with this scary and painful reality. My wife..."grammy"... is devastated and angry at life. Like all loving relatives…she wants to fix it…she wants to be a magician and wave the magic wand…
I understand completely how she feels….heck…I’ve spent the majority of my life jumping in to situations in order to “save the day”…I was determined not to let those I love ever feel alone with no one there to back them…I know what that pain feels like…I was determined not to let it happen to others…
Unfortunately, while it may have magical moments…life isn’t magic...I don’t have a magic wand. “Abracadabra” only works on the stage….it doesn’t work in real life. But…it doesn’t mean I can’t hope…love…listen…be available and lean on the things that I have found helpful to find faith in difficult times….and truth be told…just being blessed with a chance to hold my 14 year old grandson's hand when we visit or see the beam of excitement the 4 year old exhibits when I’m in sight…it lets me know… ”It is all magic”….

Hi @bobreedo
while its not a magic wand, as someone who has been professionally supporting people with disabilities for over 20 years, I would just like to make a recommendation, if you are interested.
There are many ways to work with people with autism, and I have found that the majority of them have been (I hope this is changing) focussed on trying to bring the person out of their internal world, where they feel safe and comfortable, into ours, where they dont.
There is a place in Massachusettes, USA, called The Autism Treatment Centre of America, where a program called the Sonrise Program. This program was created in the 70's, and has at its core the idea that we will only ever connect with someone with autism if we are willing to join them in their world, without judgement, and in the process build a bridge for them to gradually find a safe way into ours.
I have seen amazing resluts with this program, and would highly recommend checking it our if you are interested.
The website is http://www.autismtreatmentcenter.org/
All the best with your journey.
Cheers @goldiemr
Very much appreciate the recommendation...will look into.
You're welcome. Good luck.
Although not dealing with autism in my family, I can certainly identify with your feelings. I have tried to enjoy the "magic" moments and am trying to do what I can - while learning to be at peace with what I really can't control.
You probable know this - but there is a medical show where the lead character, a doctor, is autistic. The show is called, "The Good Doctor".
I understand that it has mixed reviews on how it deals with autism, but thought you might want to check it out.
Thank you for your caring thoughts.
try this magic..
