I 'd like to share the following quote by Dr. Gutstein, In these few sentences he capture what we all see working with children on the autism spectrum, being there for them and their families..
"I believe there is a plan for turning every child into a competent adult; a plan that has unfolded in the same manner in every culture for thousands of years. I did not invent this plan, nor did educators or developmental psychologists. I am only privileged to have the opportunity to observe and catch glimpses of its beauty.
I believe that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder present a challenge and opportunity for all of us. The challenge is to not take the plan for granted; to make the effort to understand and appreciate the thousands of elegant small steps it takes to become a fully competent human being. The opportunity is the permission we are given when we become the guide for someone with ASD, to admire the daily miracles of development”
(Dr. Steven Gutstein)
Admire your small miracles, appreciate every little step!
