Mother of autistic boy writes touching letter to kindergarten teacher

<p>One grateful mother wrote a touching letter to her autistic son’s kindergarten teacher. Cue the waterworks.</p> <p>After her son’s first year of kindergarten, Tracy Boyarsky Smith penned a letter to the boy’s teacher.</p> <p>"You are in a regular classroom but took my son in with open arms. </p> <p>He’s anything but typical. Yet you treated him like all the others. You insisted that you were his teacher, not his aide.</p> <p>You kept him mixed at the tables with the other students. You invited him onto the rug at story time. </p> <p>You allowed him to sleep in the afternoon because his little body was worn out from working so hard all day long.</p> <p>You allowed him to take walks when meltdowns proved he had his fill for the day. I was so scared that he wouldn’t make it. When he came to you, he couldn’t hold a pencil. Within two weeks of being with you, he held a pencil and wrote both uppercase and lowercase letters. You taught him to read. You taught him to cut with scissors.</p> <p>It wasn’t perfect. There were bumps and yelling and throwing and kicking. He tried to escape once or twice.</p> <p>You never gave up on him or me. You not only taught him, you taught me."</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://themighty.com/2015/09/to-the-kindergarten-teacher-who-never-gave-up-on-my-son-with-autism/" target="_blank">You can read the complete touching letter here.</a></strong></span></p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/lifestyle/family/2015/09/funny-twin-photos/">Hilarious twin photos in matching outfits</a></span></em></strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/lifestyle/family/2015/08/new-favourite-childhood-book-covers/">Your favourite childhood books now look different</a></span></em></strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/lifestyle/family/2015/08/quotes-about-grandparents/">10 great quotes about being a grandparent</a></span></em></strong></p>
