Description: Mamanee's Nest is a blog about Autism, life and coping up with Mumhood while looking up awesome products to keep you a sane mummy.
I am writing this out of emotion. As I sit at my half done work studio and stare out into the street, my heart is breaking. My daughter cried, she was upset but too proud to say so and tried to push me away when I offered a hug.
Last week, she told me proudly how she signed up to run for President of the School Organization. I knew we were not ready as a family to commit to such a large task but we agreed to support her. We prepared her as much as we could, I helped her with her speech, printed her officers badges and made her a t-shirt.
We helped her with her speech, but we also reminded her that she has to understand that she might not win. She nonchalantly answered, “It’s okay - at least I experienced it”. We knew she was not ready but as parents, my husband and I felt it was best to support her and make sure we were prepared for the outcome.
