Final Essay God’s Hidden Treasures
It’s funny how something can be right in front of us but we don’t see it, that’s what has happened to me. I started dating a girl named Jodi about a year ago, I never thought that I would be brought together with God’s hidden treasures. Jodi has three kids, it’s her youngest son, Trae who is six years old has changed my whole life. You see Trae is Autistic but the journey I’ve been on the last year has been a dream come true for me and I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world.
My journey through the lives of these special children started a year ago, I have never been around special needs children but Trae was patient with me together he and I have created a lifetime bond. Yes he’s a little different than most six year old boys he doesn’t like to rough house or wrestle or loud noises, he prefers a dvd of Thomas the Train and a chair right in front of the TV sometimes for hours watching every detail and repeating everything over and over and his face lights up when Diesel the big rig train makes an appearance. Its then that I step back and realize this is one of God’s hidden treasures and I am so lucky to be part of this special Childs lif3e.
Trae has extensive therapy three times a week and since I work split first and second shift I take him to his Spee3ch Therapy on Wednesday at the Norton’s Children Hospital in downtown Louisville, there they have a unit dedicated to children with Autism. I did some research on Autism after I started dating Jodi and it is a very complex genetic disease there are so many different reasons that a child may have the gene that carries the Autism. The doctors are testing Trae now to see what genetic marker is at fault, Trae is a low functioning which is classified as the worst form and they don’t give much hope to these children, but I don’t let that get in the way of how he is treated at home he also has chores and things that he needs to do,
