Okay, yeah.
I like reality TV.
I am, I will admit, maybe a little over it of late. Like, say, 18% less satisfied than usual.
And that defintely goes for my affection for 'The Real Housewives' franchise.
However! Sometimes, a clip from the show may surprise me with an actual message beyond demonstrating privileged lives and/or living beyond your means.
Like this beautiful clip from the current season of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey', which features cast member Jacqueline Laurita's young son - and the first time he says 'I love you' to his mother in a very long time (he has regressed - he has said those precious words in the past).
It is touching and sweet and reminds parents of neurotypical kids why parents of kids with autism rejoice SO much in the little things. It tears me up every single time.
Watch the clip here.
What has your child with autism done recently that makes you jump for joy?
