Most Christians who've been around for more than a minute understand that our plans and God's plans are two different things. I couldn't have imagined raising two autistic children and three neurotypical children if I tried.
I'm not an autism parent. At least not the kind that captures popular attention. My story doesn't involve devastation over my children being autistic. The common narrative that life with autism involves immense pain and sorrow for parents is not how I choose to live or parent my children.
The public is left to draw its own conclusions about what role autism played in Nikolas Cruz's rampage in the Parkland shootings.
