Many of us learned by witnessing the effect of non-verbal learning disability in the reaction of Gov Tim Walz son while his dad was making his keynote speech this week at the Democratic National Convention. I saw it. What I noticed was how his mother and sister immediately supported him.
My youngest son was uncontrollably emotional when he was very young. So much so, that we avoided triggering a crying spell as much as possible. I do not believe he has this disability but my heart really does understand it. I am thankful he has outgrown that tendency.
All 3 of my guys are most likely Asperger syndrome people. They are very highly intelligent and quirky in their own ways. Probably also a bit OCD. Heck, I may be a bit of all of that myself. LOL
My youngest is also my love bug and would often console me when his older brother upset me with I ❤ U notes to put against my chest. He still prefers a peaceful environment and not upset.
In a cruel shameless fashion some far right persons issued critical comments about Gus and his emotional love for his dad. I’ve seen my own husband tear up with something emotional really touched his heart. I’ve always thought that beautiful.
