Emma was 2 1/2 years old when I was born, but as the years past, I grew up and she didn't. I never knew until this year that she was autistic. I always realized that there was something different about her but I was never told what it was. Emma was adopted into the family before I was ever around. As the years past, more things were discovered. She was born with epilepsy, asthma, ADD, and the list went on. With all of this though, came multiple blessings. Emma always smiles and helps me to look at the positive things in life. Autism has brought my family much more joy than pain and I know that God knew what he was doing when He brought Emma into my life.
