Dear Jayden

Dear Jayden,

I just want you to know how special you are to me. Your little personality really shines through, and your soul is perfect. So perfect that sometimes I wonder why God put you on this earth. What exactly is your purpose? I think it's to do great things.

People who have had the absolute pleasure of knowing you know exactly what I'm talking about. Your scouts leader always tells me how special you are, how sweet you are ~ and it just warms my heart, because I know. I don't know what it is about you that is different from all the other kids, from all the other boys, but it's definitely special.

We had our parent teacher conference and your teacher absolutely loves you as well, but she is a bit concerned. It's something I know, and for some reason it's something I'm scared to get diagnosed, but we are going to start the process of finding out if you are indeed Autistic. I don't care, because at the end of the day you're just my Jayden. You are my beautiful little soul that was put on this earth to do great things.

I absolutely know without a doubt that you have Sensory Processing Disorder, and the reasons why your teacher wants to get you tested for Autism is because sometimes you go somewhere ~ nowhere far, but it's almost like a little imaginary world that you can easily be snapped out of when talked to. So, you may just have a great imagination ~ but I just want you to know that NO MATTER WHAT you are perfect. I couldn't have had a more perfect little soul bless my life than you. I have never in my entire life met a boy that is as sweet, caring, honest, faithful, and has integrity like you. Never... and I'm not just saying that because you are my son, because I'm not the only one that sees this.

I love you, Jayden ~ I love you forever and always

Love, Mom
