A beautiful message from Jack.

Today I want to address people in autism squares, who make decisions for us. These are people who have good intentions and want the world to be more accepting and safe for people like me. I see that their hearts are in the right place, but they are making wrong assumptions about us and what we want and need. “Always presume competence” is our mantra for good reason.

Most of us have experienced the opposite. Most of us have felt the constant sting of being seen, treated, and given no opportunity to prove something other than incompetence. This has defined our existence in an extremely harmful way. Our fight to survive is not one to thrive, and we often see ourselves through this lens of being unworthy of what we need. This is profoundly detrimental to our mental health, and sense of well-being, and worth.

I can’t imagine what this existence feels like without a sense of God‘s love and belonging in his family. My heart feels so heavy for those who live outside of this reality.

Selah. Pause to reflect on this.

Imagine the individuals you know that are in the place of this torturous existence and unaware of their incredible worth. Now imagine the thousands more who have no one to imagine for them or see their worth. The devastation they must feel is almost unimaginable.

I have felt this devastation at times, but been buoyed by the love of God at just the right time in the labyrinth of life. Often this encounter with his love has come in human form. This is why Christ came, not just to die, but to show us how to live as breathing experiences of his encompassing love.

So my challenge to you today is be someone’s encounter with God‘s love today. Stay in the Light.
Love,
Jack

It is very common for kids on the autism spectrum to have low folate. Something as simple as supplementing with a high quality methylfolate can make a significant impact on a child’s outcomes.
