Autism - taking a break is good for everyone.

Mikey on Holiday

The water boy is on holiday in France with his Carers. We got so lucky when we found Michele. Michele is a special needs Carer who is supremely good at her job. I think Michele was born with an understanding of kids with disabilities like Autism. Her empathy, kindness and loving nature matched with a no nonsense approach makes her the perfect carer.  Mikey has been with Michele and family for about 4 years now and he loves her to bits. She is the only other person in the world who understands Mikey like I do. Michele has two kids of her own, they are in their twenties and lovely people. Michele and her hubby cared for two severely disabled girls whom they ended up adopting. Mikey stays with them for part of the week and we mostly share the holiday time. This year on her family holiday she took the kids with.
                 Now, anyone reading this who is caring for a child with Autism and has ever attempted a holiday may feel a chill of terror at the thought of a "holiday". Not Michele! This woman is amazing, I kid you not. That family took Mikey under their wings and treat him like he is their own, that family gave us our lives back and my son is now a happy boy. Autism having a good holiday can be done!


Here are some pics of the water boy on holiday, totally in his element in France.

Two thumbs up for Michele and her family Samantha. You must be relieved someone so special is looking after someone so special.

Mikey looks like he's having a whale of a time. Looks like he's swimming. Does he swim?

Samantha Anne Hutchinson said...

Very relieved indeed! No he doesn't swim, he used to be very bravado around pools but one day he came home from school with fear of the pool...I suspect something happened but will never know for sure, no he just hangs out where he knows its ok, in a way that's a very good thing but I would have preferred it if he had that skill, instead of fear. He seems so happy, that makes me happy too :)

What a lovely uplifting page...

Autism is very hard for people to understand for sure...I know of this very special child named Jennifer; she also suffers from Autism; her mother is a very good friend of my Goddaughters mother!
Jennifer's mum wrote a book named;
What's THE MATTER WITH
JENNIFER.Jennifers Story by Sian Davies ISBN NO; 0-90711794-5; very interesting reading indeed :)

Michele is very special too and he came in to your life for a reason!

Short poem for all those families coping with autism...

To All The Mothers

My mother loves me unconditionally.
Even though I repeat the same old things.
My mother loves me so well you see.
She's patient when I cannot be.
She doesn't mind me pacing back and forth.
She doesn't mind the jibberish.


When I am frustrated beyond my means.
She sings, Don't worry the storm is over."
When I feel no one understands,
Mom is there to hold my hand.
To all the parents around the wolrd's whose
journey seems like this.
We know that you love us dearly.
But having you in our lives makes us blessed.

Keep up the great work Samantha ♥

I meant to say Mikey!

Samantha Anne Hutchinson said...

Thank you so much Julie! that's so lovely of you :) I will get that book for sure!

Found you from you following me (thank you). I used to work with children with autism. I loved it and I loved them, but I'd be so pleased to get home and flop into a chair, no demands on me for a bit. Now I'm a mum I've learned how heroic all parenting is, but parenting a child who will always be different and probably always need more from you; that's nothing short of miraculous. Hooray for people like Michelle.
