I am the mother of an Autistic child in America. It took me years
to speak those words without crumbling into tears. I now see past
the tears and embrace my roll as the mother of my Michael. The
sweet little Autistic boy who loves the color red and Santa Claus.
As parents we are teachers to our children. I have learned the most
valuable lesson of all. My Autistic son is also a teacher. I now
know that I am his student. Michael has taught me to look and to
focus on details around me. It is the way I can relate to him.
Color is all around us. I now understand what colors can truly mean
to a person and how they have shaped our Michael. I have learned to
look at the colors of my life and embrace them. It has never been
more clear and bright and until now it had no real meaning to me.
It was just color. I took the colors of my life for granted. I like
anyone else gave little thought to Autism until it knocked at my
front door one day, came in, and will be living with us forever.
This book is for those who have had this similar knock at their
door. It is for those who only receive it as a visiting guest from
time to time. It is also for those who know someone who is living
with Autism. This is our story. The Color Red. We received the
knock at our door five and a half years ago. We are opening our
doors to you. It is important for many living and dealing with
Autism to know "what goes on behind closed doors" for a family
living with Autism.
