Uniqueness

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to touch on a subject that has always been important to me....Our own uniqueness.  I've seen more of that recently when dealing with my youngest, who has Aspergers.  We've started attending group meetings here in Charlotte for people and family members dealing with Aspergers.  This group was started by individuals with Aspergers.  They are a GREAT group of people!!!

For all the social difficulties they have, they're smart, funny and so totally their own person.  I love this group!  And, the best part, Halee has started coming out of herself more.  It seems to me that if you give people a little patience and understanding, anything can happen.

Why should we conform to what society tells us to want and expect?  Isn't life about the unexpected??  We should always look forward to differences in those we deal with.  If we were all the same, it would be a pretty boring world!!!  The only thing we should be the same in is that we're all human, prone to mistakes and be open to other view points.  Never hurts to listen to a different idea.  That's how greatness starts.

So, the next time you see someone on the street, in the workplace, etc who isn't quite what you expect....don't ask yourself if you should avoid them, but how you can learn from them.

EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS!!!!
