Life Lessons – What we here at Little Star have learned from the kids we work with
In honor of Autism Awareness Month, the staff at Little Star Center would like to take this opportunity to thank the many children and young adults that we have had the privilege to work with over the years. We would like to share a few things that we have learned from our time together:
- Celebrate the little things
- A little pee never hurt anybody
- Children with autism work harder each day than most adults
- We call them “special interests” not obsessions
- Everybody is smart in their own way
- Don’t always be in such a hurry
- Bad times may be bad, but they make the good times even better
- He’s just saying what everybody else is thinking
- One person’s gross is another person’s amazing
- The most ordinary, everyday objects can still be extraordinary
- Potential cannot be predicted
- Success should be measured in small steps
