I Help Developmentally Disabled People [Helping Others]

Just one. My son. His mental and emotional development are, let's say, limited. Can you imagine what it is like to have a six foot tall hundred and sixty pound toddler?

Know what though? He is worth all the trouble and no less valuable and wonderful a person than anybody else I have ever met.

(edit: he is 18)

I bet he’s the kindest soul with a beautiful heart and you sound like an amazing father! He’s lucky to have you, thanks for sharing your story about him. 🤗

@Keepitsimple Some would see him as just a burden. I see him as my beloved son

@justbob any good parent would. I’m sure there are times when you are exhausted.

You sound very proud of your son, and that’s wonderful. In my opinion, people with disabilities are hugely undervalued in this world, but have the most to teach us about what it means to be human. We should all be valued and be afforded dignity, regardless of ability, looks, race or economic status. I wish all the best to you and your family.

I hear ya man. Good on ya, bro. My two youngest sons are autistic. (21 and 14) I love them just as God made them. They have an innocence that will never be lost and they've helped me grow as a person. A challenge, yes, but I'd lay down my life for them. 🤘

@Luchs Amen, brother
