110. Have you ever Secretly Hated Autism?

Being Not Your Average Autism Mom means we embrace our lives as
they are right now. Whatever that looks like for each of us, we
accept that this is our life.


What about you? Do you embrace your life as it is? Even in the
chaotic and uncertain times or do you find yourself still wishing
and hoping and dreaming it was different?


So the question is when you should accept what is?


If you are putting all of your energy into focusing on wishing
that something or someone was different when you can’t change it,
you are wasting your time and energy.


Here is what you should be doing…. Ask this question…


When you accept the reality, the truth of what is, then what is
possible?


As a society, we have to realize that our internal anger will
never change things. We think that our frustration or resentment
or anger is actually doing something, but here is the truth, the
situation or the other person has NO IDEA of what you are
internalizing, so the truth is, you are causing your own pain.


When you are angry about something, whether that is that your
child is autistic and life isn’t as you expected it to be or
maybe it’s how someone treated you or something that happened in
the past, you just carry it around with you. No one else is
carrying it, just you.


Wanting reality to be different is hopeless.


I don’t think it is a question of when you should accept reality
and when you shouldn’t. I believe we should always accept what is
without emotionally resisting it.


The truth is that when you think something shouldn’t have
happened, it is not true, because it did and no amount of
thinking you do can change it.
