When my Ex and I chose the name Clark for our son, we automatically knew he was destined for great things. Clark was diagnosed with Autism 2 years ago. After a good cry about his situation, we enrolled him into his IEP assigned school. After 15 months of hard work and dedication from himself and everyone around him, I'm proud to say that he's in a less-restrictive class room and on his way to Kindergarten.
Some may say Autism is a curse, or even a "problem"; we chose to see Autism as Clark's super powers. He has the ability to spot differences between nearly identical items and has a remarkable sense of direction and not to mention, put a smile on anyone's face. If that's not incredible then I don't know what is. I've heard plenty of times that "Clark is so lucky to have you as his Mom," and I've simply replied with "I'm the lucky one to have him as my Son." He has opened my heart to patience, genuine laughs, and unforgettable love and that makes him my real life super-man.
