It would almost be a relief for him to be diagnosed with something, so there would be a clear path to follow in getting him functioning closer to normal. For now, though, he tends to 'sing', humming and warbling melodies from programs he's watched or music he's listened to.Canadian Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576455051692242600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-13809242289116385972009-10-27T23:33:49.988+00:002009-10-27T23:33:49.988+00:00The child seems not only wordless but sightless. ...The child seems not only wordless but sightless. Fallen on his knees he seems rooted while the mother is a winged bird. But he is redeemed by his ability to hear music AND lyrics. Mom provides for the wordless not just the soundless.

I lo...Wow...I just kind of lost it looking at this. I lost my son 3 years ago to preterm(very preterm) labor. There are so many words and songs that would have past my lips and fell on his precious ears...had we only had time. My healing process has been a long one and will never truly be over but it's moments of grace like this that bring understanding in ways that are inexplicable. Have you ever heard of Elephant Revival? This painting immediately made me think of their music...Especially 3 paricular tracks...Currach, Ring Around the Moon and Sing to the Mountain..There is something very synergistic about your painting and their music..You should take a listen on their website...Thank you for sharing this...KRH23https://www.blogger.com/profile/17913155618055170984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-60811271946346855042009-10-24T18:19:33.740+01:002009-10-24T18:19:33.740+01:00Wow!

Cocooned together, trying to touch buy him not wanting it, deserted by his father, siblings and our whole circle of friends, neighbors and extended family. You have painted the relationship of mother and child and autism. Only me, only him and the world had to be inside the house, on his terms and at his speed. His language art. He drew always, drew only using yellow pencils and printer paper. He endure the captivity of school, many times escaping to home and me. Teachers, his father and others screamed force, make, demand, expect. We learned of it 12 yrs ago and today he is in University, in Fine Arts, independent, busing, looking for oart time work....<br />It never felt like a burden. Dad joined family counseling, siblings started to see what I knew was there.<br />Please Rima, offer this as a print in your Etsy store.<br />I lurk and read your blog alot.<br />Yours Janetready to pretendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355118679128510130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-33567201849290269012009-09-22T03:34:57.760+01:002009-09-22T03:34:57.760+01:00It is what it is - beautiful!It is what it is - beautiful!martiehttp://so-many-roads.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-88059702202261574842009-09-21T15:27:55.080+01:002009-09-21T15:27:55.080+01:00This is incredibly beautiful, moving and so small!...This is incredibly beautiful, moving and so small!
