The true heart of Ryan and how it helped Ashley

To honor Ryan I will not share specifics but a few minutes ago Ashley had to help Ryan while I was on the phone. She wanted him to wait for Mom to help him vs her and had also damaged a personal item in here room.

So I came to help them got Ryan all fixed up and knew from his noises and upset sounds he was very upset for sure over the entire incident.

he spells on board when we came downstairs

RYAN WANTS YESTERDAY

I said why...

NOT WANT TO HELP RYAN..

I knew he was talking about Ashley but asked and he spelled ASHLEY

Called ASHLEY DOWN AND Ryan said..

DID NOT MEAN TO ________________ CAN YOU PLEASE FORGIVE ME
Ashley was sitting at the kitchen table she ran around the table crying telling ryan I was not mad at you I was just tired and in a bad mood I love you Ryan... yah.. I was holding back my tears..Then he spells out

SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO _____________________. and ran upstairs Ashley followed. She now is sitting next to me and told me what she told Ryan... she said.. ,"I should ask you to forgive me. Ryan, you are the most awesome brother..and several other sweet things ....... she has the heart of God and so does Ryan.. together we will get through all that comes are way.

I shared with Ashley how it must be very hard and at times humilating to not be able to make your body do the right thing or be trapped inside and have no way to explain anything. Please if you have a child with Autism learn this method.. help your child have a voice...
