The way I hold his hand every time we walk.
The constant scanning of my eyes all around.
The hyper-alert stiffness of my neck and shoulders.
The constant warnings to watch feet...watch backs...watch out!
The pocketbook permanently stocked with ear plugs, sensory brush, Rescue Remedy.
The circles under my eyes from sleepless nights.
The scars on my legs from where he used to scratch and bite.
The muscular arms that can still, super-humanly, lift and carry his 110 lbs. when necessary.
The puzzle piece pendant around my neck.
All noticed.
All commented on.
All autism...
