They taught my brothers and sisters , 9 of us, to clean , ( spotless clean ). All of us had respect for our parents, my mom is an angel , my dad had a big heart but didn't show his soft side very much, but I saw it a lot. They always said to eat all your food, and to get along with everyone.

      My son is also quite terrified of babies and toddlers because he associates them with crying. If he sees someone crying, he says himself that it starts a “chain reaction” and he just can’t help but cry himself. He gets so distressed when it happens. I hope this is also something that he can learn to cope with as he gets older. 😊

    As someone who is autistic, this is just awesome. For him to say to her that he loves her and that she brings in peace is one of the biggest compliments/signs of affection that somebody with autism can give you because of how hard it is for us to open up and express that. Absolutely amazing speech he composed himself despite his visible anxiety. And you can tell that when he said that she brought peace to him that his older brother knew what that meant. And that's important. And she knows what it meant to because she started crying cuz she understands that it's not easy. People don't treat us very normally so when we have to get up and do things like this we are putting ourselves in a position we would never really want to be in and it is extremely hard and nerve-wracking.
