For those of you who don’t know me, I have a 19 year old son who has a high functioning form of autism. I’m also the author of a brand new book called, “The Little Book of Big Insights, Tips and Tricks for Living a Life of Joy, Abundance, and Ease”, which will be released on February 7, 2012.
Last night my son was paging through the book looking for sections he had the capacity to read. It was pretty cool because we actually discussed a few of the tips and how he could apply them to his life. At some point, he realized I had only one copy of the book and asked me if that was all I had. I explained that even though it is my only copy, people can purchase it directly from Amazon. I love his response: “That’s good mom, because if this was all you had, you couldn’t help people and make make any money”. Pretty insightful for a member of a population that many believe are unaware of their surroundings and what’s happening in the world. People inside the Autistic Community and out often forget that just because our kids appear to be unfocused, unaware, incognizant, they soak up huge amounts of information.
Just a little reminder to us all…never underestimate anyone. Who knows what gifts, talents, or abilities are hidden just below the surface.

Yes, my son was diagnosed as being Autistic, but he is a lot more aware than most people think. He will be dancing, singing, talking to his imaginary friends, and then mention something in direct relation to what I am doing or have said. They are fully aware; they chose to be themselves as opposed to be people that cave-in to societal norms and peer pressure. They are highly intuitive and have brilliant and unlimited minds, and are extremely powerful. I am so happy that the ascension is here because we are going to see just how strong and powerful they are 🙂 God Bless. Tamara 🙂
Well said, Tamara. Thank you!
