In order to introduce different kinds of beauty into the world, we have to expose them to it.
I’ll never forget where we were: the deli line at our local grocery store. I had just ordered a pound of rotisserie smoked turkey and looked over to find a middle aged woman snickering and pointing at my son.
I wish I could grab the mother I used to be and whisper in her ear, “It’s okay. Let them laugh. You’re going to teach the world all about different types of beauty,” but she probably would’ve shooed me away. And she also wouldn’t have believed me.I ran out of that store and made it to my car before the tears came. What I didn’t realize at that time was that I wasn’t crying over someone’s cruelty, or even a cranial helmet, I was bawling because my child was marked as different.
Because in three short months his helmet would be gone, but for the rest of my son’s life he’d still have something that marked him as different. This time, an invisible disability like his sister: autism.I still get stares and snickers all the time, but people no longer know what they’re looking for. It’s impossible to miss a helmet on a five-month-old’s head, but the scarlet A—autism—blends in.
