Hello my son has autism and epilepsy and this is something he will have the rest of his life.us moms take on a whole different world with our unique kids and we are there safe place. And that safe place is a very big deal .its hard to find people to work with my son because he doesn’t know them and he doesn’t like a lot of people in his space he gets overwhelmed and then his world is upside down .us moms don’t ask for nothing but what is needed for our kids. This would help so many parents to keep there children safe in there safe place and there needs could be met better. I really hope for change and let our kids thrive as they should.
Jeannie supported: Parents paid to care for children with special needsMy mother (Samantha smothers) has been taking care of my baby sister (massaria) who is nonverbal autistic with little to no help. My mom was told by several schools and social workers that my little sister is to extreme and that there’s nothing they can do to help. When I lived with them my mom could never do anything for herself or spend time with my other siblings because she constantly had to keep an eye on Massaria. I myself have stepped up to help my mom with Massaria but it seems every time I see her she just gets worse.. my mom is even covered in bruises now because Massaria can’t control herself. I’m absolutely not saying this is all Massarias fault because she doesn’t understand, she can’t express how she’s feeling without screaming or crying. Imagine being in that little girls shoes.. not being able to say “momma I’m hungry” or “momma my stomach hurts” or “momma I’m scared”. That little girl is probably so miserable not being able to find her voice and not being able to express how she’s feeling. Massaria is such a smart and beautiful girl.. She’s just misunderstood..
