Necessity is truly the mother of invention   – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s  1 : 25  PM on day 792 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, brush my teeth, feed myself toast and baked beans for breakfast, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands and practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles.

Today I needed help in the bathroom but my mother had already left for work and I didn’t feel right about asking our housekeeper for help so I had to do it myself and I did in that moment I realized that if I had to I could do anything and that I guess is my message to special needs parents stand back and let your kids learn how to do things by themselves if you always “help” them they will never learn to help themselves.     Have you ever had to learn how to do something by yourself purely because there was nobody there to do it for you?

I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.
