Title: Living with Sjogrens Happy moment
Post by: angeldancer on August 17, 2015, 09:09:52 AM
In the midst so so much turmoil in my life including having an autistic son, I pause to share a moment of happiness in the midst of pain. 

My son got two jobs.  Yes my very special son landed a job at Universal Studios first and then landed a job in the Pirate Adventure show near Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, Ca.  He plays one of the dinosaurs from Jurassic World at Universal and will be playing a pirate that can do tumbling and Silks (aerial stuff).  I cannot believe it.  In the middle of calling 911 and carrying me and trying to make me dance, he went to auditions and said he knew he could do it. 

Some may think this is nothing but for a kid that is so socially awkward and only into himself to go out and audition in front of people an tell them he can do it while having an asthma attack. 

I really think even though I get so frustrated with myself I have survived because of this wonderful awkward sometimes pessimistic son of mine.  He knows what he knows and he does it well.  I could not ask for more.  Next step a coach that can teach him to live on his own.

Feeling hopeful,

Angeldancer
