The cage was comfortable at first.

She tried hard to fit in and comply.

Besides, change is hard.

From the safety of her cage,

she marveled at the sunset as

multicolored rays touched her skin.

At night, she watched shades of the moon

danced across the sky.

Wind caressed the days and brought her

smells of the changing seasons.

Letting nature flow through her

seemed like enough, and for awhile, it was.

 

But thoughts played in her head

 and circuited through 

bare feet touching the earth.

Then in the morning frost,

she caught reflections of fractals

 before they dripped away.

Suddenly, she could feel light and

spirit in the beating of her heart.

Higher soul energy outweighed  

density keeping her in.

The magnetic grid pulled linear bars apart.

It was no longer her pattern.

 

Catching wind of simple waves

 intertwined with complex ones, she

 connected with others.

The woman began to dream.

In the design of creation,

 imaginary numbers created spirals

 urging her on.

Discovering the power of her smile,

she shined and others felt

comfort in being around her.  

Even though, the woman felt grown up now,

she jumped up and down like a joyful child.

Wide awake in a new playground, she spun

around.  Looking one last time at her cage,

 she dropped her guard

 and simply walked away.

So you have a child with Aspergers. 

If you are looking for sympathy, you're in the wrong place.  If you're looking for empathy, a way of releasing you and your loved ones from old outworm patterns of victim energy so you can enter the all powerful vibrational field of empowerment through unconditional love; then you are in perfect alignment.

Diversity is everything.  It brings beauty, it builds love, it facilitates change; it’s a crucial part of evolution.

Believing that divergence is a problem, is the real problem.  Buying into the idea that there are ‘norms’ is destructive and unhelpful. 
 
Choosing to re-frame differences is empowering, it breeds acceptance, it cultivates tolerance and literally creates new worlds and enhanced, enlightened experience.

Changing perspective, changes lives.

Here are 7 awesome things about Aspergers.

1. Aspergers kids can be obsessional about a particular subject, apparently  ‘unable’ to focus on prescribed or expected material.

Yay!  What a skill; the ability to focus deeply on something; the ability to concentrate fully without distraction; the gift of tenacity.  I bet some of you ‘normal’ people would like a bit of that!

How about we allow our Aspergers preferred focus.  Some of the great contributors to our World have had this obsessive quality.

2. A lack of common sense. Yes, that is officially a symptom of Aspergers.
Frankly, who needs more ‘common’ sense, it’s just that; COMMON!

We need more uncommon sense, more out of the box thinking.  There is genius lurking in the shadow side of disability.  When you are frustrated with your little one who has Aspergers stop, take a breath and look for the hidden Einstein.  I promise you’ll find it.
