Two years ago, my son was nonverbal at two years old. After 6 months of therapy and testing, an entire panel of doctors diagnosed him with Autism. Selfishly in the moment, I asked, “Will he ever be able to ski, golf, and play sports normally with other kids?” Their answer: “Although it’s not out of the question, it’s highly unlikely.” Both my wife and I were crushed. Not because of the diagnosis or the fact that these “professionals” just put a two-year-old they met with for less than an hour in a box for the rest of his life. We were crushed because, in one single answer, my wife’s dreams of teaching her son soccer and mine of teaching him golf, skiing, and basketball seemingly went out the window. It was something we had both dreamed about our entire lives. Two years later, my son not only talks but can also read, count, spell, play basketball, and do pretty much everything any other four-year-old can do. And today, his first time ever putting on skis, he skied 30 yards all by himself on his 3rd run. The best part - he just wants to go again and again. I've never been happier or more proud. Today, all of my dreams came true. So, to all the parents out there, don't let others' expectations define what is possible for your child. ➡️ Keep pushing ➡️ Keep believing ➡️ Keep dreaming You're not alone in this journey. Keep your hopes alive because miracles happen every day, and your kids are stronger than you think.
