Not my will, but thine
Today is World Autism Awareness Day. What is it like for a parent of a child with autism?
A mother imagines God offering her a heartwrenching choice.
Would she choose that her son no longer had autism so that she no longer had to depend on God in the same way? Or would she keep the autism and keep the dependence?
Which?

Hi Noel,
I know you don’t know me, I follow you on twitter. This video is touching. My heart goes out to her. I can’t help but wonder if there if there is hope for her. It sounds like she has learned so much, and that God has used this situation in her life, like he does for all of us. But just wanted to throw this out there. My mom is a specialist and works with a lot of disabilities, including autism. If she is interested my mom’s website is http://www.brainadvance.org/
In Christ,
Tiffany
