Before my son was born, I had been interested in the topic of autism for twenty years. But this, as it turned out, has nothing in common with being autistic child’s parent. I had to learn everything from scratch. At first, like many parents had, there was a strong desire to change my child, to make him like everyone else. But, lucky for me, that desire quickly disappeared. I very clearly understood that these children, once they get diagnosed, lose their right to be themselves. Everyone keeps trying to change them with the help of different therapies, supplements and so on. While other (neurotypical) children simply live, children with ASD are being taken to occupational therapy sessions, to speech therapist and many other specialists. So they lose their childhood. We decided to give up all of this, and let the child live as he wants; not to change him but change ourselves, try to understand and enter his world. Every day he reveals us a new understanding of everything that surrounds us.

He always has a bunch of pencils. He needs a lot of shades. Since the sky is not only blue, it has got a lot of different shades.
