There is one person in the world who has had as tough a year with Miss 5 as hubs and I. Miss 5s teacher. The Universe smiled on Miss 5 when they assigned her kindi teacher. We were blessed with one of the warmest, kindest, gentlest individuals that I have ever met. We took the journey from bewilderment and frustration to Aspergers diagnosis together, and when I was beside myself with stress and grief she was a rock solid support, her positiveness and optimism never wavered for a moment.
A comment she made recently to my Mum has become my mantra when things are really tough. "She has so much potential (Miss 5). It will take us a couple of years to properly unlock it, but when we do it will be wonderful."
She is so right.
There is no way I can ever fully express my thanks to that gracious lady. But I did make this cross-stitch as a small way of showing our gratitude.

Hi Caitlyn,
I'm glad to hear you have a diagnosis for your daughter and I hope she continues to have teachers like her kindy teacher. It's people like her who will make the difference in your daughter's life. As well as youselves, of course :-)
Wonderful, caring teachers are hard to find. I am really happy that you found her.
Hey Caitlyn! I have a daughter on the autism spectrum too. She was diagnosed with PDD at 3. I don't talk about it much now because she is in high school and blends in pretty well - I don't want to embarrass her. It was a lot of work when she was little, but every inch of heavy lifting was worth it. Good teachers make all the difference. Cheers to you and your daughter.
That is a beautiful gift. What an awesome idea.
