I'll always remember when I was in confirmation class... Everyone was paired up with someone and I had one of the adults that were teaching. We were to ask each other a question and me, being shy, did NOT want to go first. So the teacher asks me "What do you think was you're biggest obstacle in life?"
This question seemed quite difficult... But then I actually thought....... What IS it... And what came to my mind was 'Dealing with my brother'
He let out a little chuckle thinking I was joking and told me to be serious. I told him I was...
I went on to explain "my brother has autism. So throughout my life I had to learn how to deal with it and what I can and cannot say and do."
People may seem like they have the most normal life but you don't know what lies behind their eyes. What really goes on in their lives.. Don't be so quick to judge people. They might have more to deal with then you know.
