Out there, yes out there! Somewhere far beyond our
expectation lays the mystery of the missing puzzle piece. A puzzle piece we must put together to
find its known cause: “Autism”.
It’s a mystery, a fight to be fought against this
complex brain disorder that inhabits a person’s ability to communicate and
develop social relationships and is often accompanied by extreme behavior
challenges. Challenges we must
overcome! An everlasting journey
we will face ahead of us! A life
long developing disability, which threatens our society and nation. A task everyone will bear! Have no fear – there is HOPE,
also FAITH, so have no despair, our answers are on its way. Mark its journey.
The day will come!
The days are out numbered. Time is clicking on our
shoulders; too much to bear, families struggling to overcome their fears for
the future of their love ones.
A solution, a miracle, to solve the missing piece of the puzzle. The hidden ability of our special
needs, who so desperately want to come out of their world to meet us halfway
for acceptance in our society.
Out there, yes out there! Everyone hear our voices, support us, and walk with us to
contribute in making “Autism Awareness Day”. A day we will be proud of. A day recognized for its
efforts and accomplishments that we have reached so far. So scientists, researchers,
teachers, parents, and other advocates continue what you are doing. Your job is far from finished. A
journey we all make together to find the missing puzzle piece, still a mystery,
known as a national public health crisis whose causes and cure remain unknown. “Autism”.
So hear
me again! Stand by your families
or anyone you know, to give a helping hand, to acknowledge the spectrums that
come with being “autistic”. Share their feelings and try to understand the
world they are living in. Make a difference and appreciate them for who they
are. They continue to strive and have come a long way to make their life
better, in improving with the given life skills they have learned, their amazing/gifted
talent, their affection and love bestow on us, their act of kindness &
willingness, their own kind of happiness they seek on themselves. No matter what the outcome of
their outburst we see in anxiety, frustrations, lack of patience &
comprehension, their way of doing things differently in a routine pattern,
their compulsory behavior, loss for words to express their inner feelings,
struggle to cope with their social peers and things around them. They are set
and will always be set in their own “autistic ways” - a sign for us to remember
what life is all about: Faith, Hope, Love & Patience, but the greatest of
these is “LOVE”. A life-filled dream to overcome this Life
Mystery of “the missing puzzle piece”. To heal its causes, to find a cure. A mom’s love, care, patience and dedication for her autistic
child, showing joy in seeing improvements that lead towards her mainstream in
life. “What else can a mother ask
for?
