As parents, we love our children so much, that it is often difficult to keep healthy boundaries, when our child experiences the inevitable hurt they will experience in their interactions with other kids. We desperately want to protect them, and give them the coping skills they will need to successfully navigate their social experiences.
Imagine how much tougher it is when parents have a child with autism. According to a research study that was cited by CNN, 46% of children with autism, report victimization or bullying while in middle and high school.
Sonny Giroux and his wife, are the loving parents of Benjamin, an autistic 10-year-old fifth grader with Asperger’s syndrome. Benjamin had a school assignment to write a poem titled “I Am”. According to “The Huffington Post”, when he showed his parents the poem which you will read below, they were overcome with different emotions.
Their feelings of pride over Benjamin’s ability to express himself with such depth and insight that is way beyond his years, was overshadowed by the grief they felt over his profound words depicting his isolation and loneliness.
The posting of this poem brought an overwhelmingly positive response from people so deeply touched by his words that so aptly describes the inner world of a child dealing with the sadness that comes with the social disabilities that accompany Asperger’s.

Our planet is at a turning point right now. We have a chance now to change things, if we can all just wake up and realize the destruction we are producing. Animals are going extinct at the fastest rate ever. The air is too polluted to breathe in. The oceans are contaminated with all sorts of toxicity and the economies of the world are all on the brink of a possible collapse in the near future.
We need to all come together as a unified front, and change this world for the better for the future of humanity and all living beings on this planet. We need to not only leave this planet a better place for our kid, but for our grand kids and their kids and so on! It’s time to stop being selfish and start working together so we can bring about huge change and prosperity to earth.
