An Open Letter to the Parents of M2H

We get it:  we are really disabled. We try your patience. We ruin your lives. We spoil vacations and holidays. You can’t take our stimming and our OCD  and really, really want to escape from us sometimes. Steering a charted path for the rest of our lives is insanely hard and stressful and heartbreaking. We are a major financial, social and emotional burden. 

It is astounding to me then how happy you are when I see you all at M2H. You laugh and smile. You want, want, want things for us. And no matter how exhausted you are, you come to the Center and watch us having fun and learning in the happiest mood.

There are people who give up on us so readily - and then there are all of you:  determined, resolute winners. 

We openly thank you.
Love,
Alex
