Comment on “Jesus Stinks!” It’s interesting to read about your son’s sensitivities. We experienced all of that, but split between two kids. Kid one: noises were the hardest. Kid two: taste and smell sensitivity and a brother who ate like a pig! They have largely grown out of these things, though. They never embarrassed us at church, but at a wedding one time, my oldest got bored and started crawling around under the chairs. When the wedding ended and the wedding party started walking back up the aisle, he shouted out, “Is this the credits?!?” 🫣😂
I can relate to all of this! I have two boys with autism who weren’t diagnosed until their respective 10th birthdays. Dealing with relatives on my ex-husband’s side was the hardest thing. I felt so judged! There are still some family issues now that they’re grown, but it has diminished considerably. Part of me misses Christmas with little ones, and part of me is just relieved!

I love what you have to say about quiet and time as gifts we give ourselves. Thanks for that. Wishing you all a beautiful holiday season, Laura.
