Autism: Emotional Efficiency

Living with Autism brings emotional efficiency to the home. I never thought of emotional efficiency, but it is the only way I can describe my son. 

When he laughs, he laughs. It is heard throughout the house. When he is screaming at the TV, "Get the rebound", I have to close the door to my room to minimize the sound. 

When something is wrong, he talks about it until he resolves it, as he has to reconcile each day to the day it happens. 

He carries no baggage into the next day. No lingering thoughts can exist in the autistic mind. Another big one is, if you don’t want the truth, don’t ask him the question. 

He lives in pure truth and when it is not present, he simply leaves the room. 

He has a keen eye for sincerity and he takes in energy before he even hears words. 

If I had to label Autism, it would be how he is hardwired to Love. 

The innocence he carries is unapologetic about love. If he thinks you may have misunderstood him, he tells you right away to make sure there is no misunderstanding, because he thinks we too reconcile our days before we sleep at night.
