We should all celebrate the unseen gifts of our kids with attention deficit, even as the world shakes its head in silent judgment.
We have all seen another mother making “one of those faces” when our child acts out, or doesn’t act the way society thinks he or she should. I wrote this for a fellow mom – and for all moms of ADHD kids – who witnessed her son being judged in karate class.I see you there, making a face and rolling your eyes when my son doesn’t behave the way society expects him to behave in public places.
Do you think that I can’t see you? Do you think that somehow I love my child less than you love yours? Do you think that you and your child are better than my child and me because you don’t have the same challenges that we do? Do you know how hard it is for me to remain silent when I see you judging my child? Do you know how badly I want to call you out in front of everyone and say, “I see you! I see you judging us!” But, unlike my son, I am hesitant to make a scene. More importantly, he hasn’t noticed you, and I hope he never does. He is happy with who he is and he doesn’t think he has any challenges. I’d prefer to keep it that way for as long as possible.
Every person has some challenge. Perfection is an illusion. Maybe your flaw is judging people. It’s definitely a flaw. It’s just unclear if that is your only one.You don’t know that he loves me with his whole heart, without reservation and without hesitation.You don’t see that he is fiercely protective of people that he loves, and he would be upset to know that you had upset me with your actions.
