"I didn't even know she was struggling that day until I saw this picture. My youngest daughter was recently diagnosed with Autism. She functions fairly normal most days, but then there are others…Yesterday the Wheatland Fire Authority paid a visit to the Wheatland Preschool at Wheatland Elementary and I wasn't sure how she would do, but I dropped her off as normal with hopes of it being fine. There were new people in her regular environment asking kids to try this and do this which would be AWESOME to most kids - but for her it can be overwhelming. This sweet man let her cuddle and relax right there on his lap for who knows how long because he could just tell she was having a hard time. I was able to get this firefighters, info and message him. Come to find out he has an autistic family member, so he was able to relate and help calm her a bit. As a parent, this kind of diagnosis can leave you wondering how each day is going to be. If someone is going to show her compassion, or judgement. And yesterday, it was compassion."
