Just Differently - April 18, 2011

Kate would have a wicked sense of humor because that's what she has now. Kate would love reading because that's what she does now. Kate would love computers, her cat, her sister, and me because those are the things and people she loves now. She would miss her dad, who died nine years ago, because that's the way it is now. The difference would be that Kate would be able to tell us what she feels, and Kate probably would not be racked with the seizures that grip her daily. That's what it would be like if Kate didn't have autism: she'd be the wonderful 17-year-old young woman she is. It would be life with Kate, just done differently.
