When
parents first discover that their child is afflicted with an illness that will
affect their interactions with others, it’s hard to imagine what life will be
like for them. The parents learn to adapt their schedules and needs to fit
those of the child’s, in hopes that life will be easier for him or her. Often,
however, people outside this child’s family may not consider his or her needs
in the same way.
But
as mom of three Tricia Klein found out, there are a few kind souls who are
considerate of her child’s needs. Tricia’s son, Timothy, was diagnosed with
nonverbal autism at 2 years old. Since then, she has helped her son overcome
the daily challenges he faces. Though he struggles with interacting with
others, he loves many of the same things other 7-year-old kids enjoy: he likes
to play soccer, swim, and watch YouTube videos. But it isn’t uncommon that his
mom has had to decline his invitations to parties because of his condition.
But
one day, a note from a mother whose son was in Timothy’s class changed that.

Tricia’s
son, Timothy, was diagnosed with nonverbal autism. This diagnosis makes it hard
for him to interact with others, especially in large groups. She would have to
decline his classmates’ invitations to parties.
But
one of the mothers, whose son is friends with Timothy, decided to send Tricia a
note, along with the invitation.
The
note read: “Carter
sat beside Timothy at school and he always talks about him. I really hope he
can come. We are renting a bounce castle that we can attach a small bounce
slide at the bottom. We will also have water balloons and water guns. Maybe
Timothy can come earlier in the day if it would too much with the whole class.
Let me know so we can make it work.”
The
note moved Tricia to tears. To her, the final phrase “we can make it work”
meant the world!
