Thinking I get to really start saving money and getting passports for daughter and I. She has a friend from Missouri getting married next year and the wedding will be somewhere in Canada. This friend wants my daughter to be her maid of honor and hubby is worried about daughter flying alone.
 
I'm thinking about how thrilled I am to have my prayers answered. I prayed to find somebody to know what it is like to walk in my shoe being a deaf mother to an autistic/deaf child. It gets better, this woman happens to be someone I knew. We weren't really friends, just a person whom I knew among the deaf community. We went to school together.

Anyway, We bumped into each other at a mutual friend's daughter's birthday party and started this "Hi, how are u doing?" kind of conversation. From there, I discovered that we had something in common - We're both deaf and our sons are also deaf and autistic. We both immediately connected and for the first time ever, in 13 years (15 years for her) we finally found somebody to talk to in our language (ASL), to share our burden, frustration, and everything in between.

I mean, I've met a lot of parents with autistic child but they all are hearing and the autistic child also turns out to be hearing too. While it is nice to have support from these hearing autistic parents which I will always be thankful for but it was nothing like having them to truly understand what it is like to be part of the Deaf Culture with adding the autism spectrum in the mix. This time, it is so different and far more exciting because now I know I have this friend to talk to with total understanding of what it is like to raise an autistic/deaf child. It is difficult and challenging to discover resources that serves for BOTH needs. She understood that as well. It's the best feeling to know I'm not alone going through this.

God is good :) He knows how to connect us with people. I am glad you met your friend to share similar experiences.
 
Celebrating our anniversary early today with a movie and lunch before I go to work. Have a performance tomorrow so the pre-solo nerves are starting to hit a bit. Trying to stay clam so I don't get finger-tied and fall apart up there... Thinking about what to wear for Date Day today... Food... Bed. *yaaaaaawn*

(I'm all over the place today! haha!)
 
Thinking I would not want an interpreter who had an auditory processing disorder...
 
Thinkin I need some Help ASAP!!!

My name is Jonny and I am a new student to ASL at Southern Oregon University. I am so excited to further my skills in ASL. I need 2 years of a foreign language and so thankful that ASL is accepted as a foreign language at my school. I am majoring in Outdoor Adventure Leadership and I eventually want to work with disabled children in an outdoor recreational setting, so I figured that ASL will be very useful in that area. I am looking for some one that is Deaf that I can sign with via skype. Again I am a new student so my skills are pretty fresh and limited so I need some one that could be patient with me. Thanks hope to hear from some one soon!!!
-Jonny
