The Stupendousness of Him

My last blog explained the fact that Treven has Asperger's. I don't consider this a handicap or a disability by any means, however he does struggle and have some hardships definitely in some areas of life. I am not in denial, I just don't want people to only see the negative side of this diagnosis, and the more I think of things the more I will post the stupendous things I admire or witness about my son.

In November, we were visiting my mother in laws house. Treven asked me to come outside with him to walk and look around with him. Well, on the neighbor's property is a small building, no bigger then a small shed, that they rent out to someone. This someone has accumulated a bunch of cats who were all chilling on the front embankment. Treven told me to sit down and be very quite and just watch him. I had no idea what he was doing, nor did I notice the cats at this time.

He squatted down, was very still and quiet, kept his eyes looking far off into the distance away from the cats.  He had a favorite cat, and this was the way that he knew to get it to come to him. I took pictures of this, which I am going to attempt to share with everyone. I am his mom so I may be biased, but I thought it was a touching and beautiful moment to witness.  Please let me know what you think. My son loves animals, and he is so smart in so many ways. It blows my mind all the ways he thinks of things like this. I never would have thought to squat, not look the animal in the eyes so as to scare it or I don't even know what, but he did. He understood somehow. He just amazes me. I am so lucky to be his mom. I love my kids. All of them. They are all equally special.
