I love you, I really do. Well, most of you. Some of you are righteous tools. You know who you are. You're face is all puckered up right now and you are crafting an email to me in your pea brain. You're going to tell me I make Kate more autistic by letting her watch TMNT or some such shit. You might even be getting so riled up that you're going to call me a terrible person. I am not entirely sure what my offence is but it probably has something to do with poor parenting. The most heartbreaking part of this is that Kate would adore you. She would never judge you for judging us. She would run to you with open arms and ask you to play turtles. She doesn't want to poke you in the forehead and scream: "What is wrong with you?" like I do. Surely you'll have no complaints about this one? A slideshow of my family. I am tired of it. A tiny number of you can be such bags and you're always harshing on us. If you want to read about sunshine and lollipops you're NOT going to get it here. I work very hard to share our reality. I can't dress it up or pretend because that would not be fair to Kate or any of us. I'm telling Kate's story because she can't and I want to make sure she walks through the world with as many people on her side as I can possibly get. I am fighting to make YOU understand that she rules. To the VAST majority of you that are amazing. Carry on. To the haters. STOP talking to me 'cause you're just gonna get a big middle finger and maybe even a visit from one of Kate's friends and TRUST ME, she has MANY! Look at those dolls. It's your pleasure!

Not only do I "like" your blog - I love it! And you and your perfect family. Perfect because of imperfections and the way you love this perfectly unpredictable life. Would perfection in life not be rather boring? Keep on keepin' on my dear. ♥

This slide show made my day. I love to follow your blog, it's proof that my reality is not only particular to me... you share so many of the same problems (my Alisha is Grace's age, and my Lily (w/ Autism) is Kate's age). Thanks to you, more and more people are starting to understand!! And thanks to you, I feel so 'not alone'. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! 8/20/2014 11:36:37 pm
Haters gonna hate! I LOVE Kate and my daughter would roll right in and plop down and play turtles with her if we could just afford the trip to Canada.

Thanks for sharing! Your girls are adorable and truly wonderful. You are obviously doing a great job as anyone with eyes and an ounce of common sense could see. All you have to do it's look at these obviously happy, confident, caring, and loving little girls to know their parents are doing a great job with them. So, just ignore those haters, it is most likely they are either jealous they don't parent as well as you, or upset that they didn't have parents as wonderful as you. Keep doing what you are doing and don't let anyone say anything different!

Those two girls are beautiful inside and out! Reading the words "righteous tools" completely made my day:) Seriously. I hope you keep doing what you are doing for a very long time! Carry on:)

While some say exploited, I say explained! The more you know, the more you understand.

I know it's easy to say, but don't let them get to you. You and your husband are the ones that know Miss Kate best, and you're doing what you think's best for her. And that's all that matters. Grace and she know that they're loved more than anything (I can just tell bu their faces on the slideshow!), and that makes you one of the best mamas out there. So keep rocking! Sending lots of love your way :) by the way, did I mention how beautiful and adorable your girls are?

Love your blog! I have been reading it since I saw the story about "Dear 'Daddy' in Seat 16C Flight 1850 From Philly" I have enjoyed everything you have written! I do not have a child with autism so I cannot begin to imagine what you and your family or any other family has gone through or does go through. But I think you are wonderful for being HONEST about the realities of your life. There will always be people in this world that are trolls and thrive on spouting their own BS. But the reality is that those people are just sad, angry trolls and have nothing better to do than try to make others feel as bad as they do. I'm SO glad you don't let them get to you. And like you have said many times "Kate would adore you." It's just too bad our world doesn't act like Kate does more often. Keep on writing! The majority of us love to read your posts. :)

I do not understand why so much attention is given to "haters" the more u react the more energy they get -- focus on the "Likers" and "Lovers" and just ignore the others -- they go away if u do not give them any power.....

You have to feel slightly sorry for the haters. It can't be easy going through life being completely ignorant of how to be a human being and having to live as a complete A hole. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
