Dear Joseph,
Today you are ten years old. Everyone says it, but where has the time gone?
Life was quite hard after you were born, but I loved you with all my heart. What I want to tell you now is how proud I am of the young man you have become.
You have overcome so many challenges and my heart is filled with pride each time—whether that be the continuing development of your speech and language, the way you progressed with your swimming, or your achievements in dance.
I asked a number of people who love you to think of a word they connect with you and I was surprised at their answers. Confident, kind, funny, lovely—to name but a few. I
want you to remember these in years to come and if you ever have doubts about who you are.
You see, there is another word, autistic(患孤独症的), that people often use to describe you. If there is a time in the future when your understanding of the world around you has grown, I will explain to you what that actually means.
The way your brain works means that you see the world very differently from other people. You can't often express what you feel when you become upset. The things in disorder always trouble you.
You like having people around you, but friendship doesn't come easily. I know you have many people who enjoy your company, but you haven't quite yet worked out how to share those feelings.
At some point in the future, you will move to another school away from the people you have grown up with, but one where they can hopefully prepare you more for your adult life.
At last, I want to say, the most fitting word to describe you, out of all that were provided, was this—“perfect”—you are and always will be.
Love,
Mummy
