Who's Aunt Linda?

Today we tell you who Aunt Linda is and who she is related to. We explain what happened to her at birth and how the family has dealt with it. We also tell some funny stories about her as well as some very personal experiences with her that are very tender.
From the bottom of our heart we want to thank you for the kindness you have shown our family and specifically Aunt Linda.

How you talk about aunt Linda brought tears in my eyes because I can see how much you love her. As I said before she reminds me of my aunt Linda and she always puts a smile on my face when I’m sad or depresses. You were a normal brother how you act towards her when you were kids so never regret anything because that’s what was written by the Lord for you to do to give you strength later on.

Carol Julian having taught adults with different abilities for many years, I can say, categorically that the assessments completed regarding intellectual capacity are generally flawed. My students have surprised me so often with their abilities. On paper, you'd think There is no hope. In person, I found intelligence, love, empathy, conscience, and keen ability in many different ways. We can never underestimate abilities. They are extraordinary gifts to our families. God Bless you all for seeing that in aunt linda

I absolutely love how much love you have for Aunt Linda! Making sure she's part of the family always. I'm 40 yrs old with autism. Both of my parents passed away a few yrs ago. Since then, I haven't been around my family. They don't want someone with special needs around them. It makes me cry alot to feel so lonely. So seeing this fills my heart so full.

[@9384cows]

I am so very sorry you are being treated so awful. That is so unfair and your siblings are very selfish, unkind people. I kind of understand how you feel because I grew up in a very dysfunctional family and my mother made sure to let me know that I was not her favorite and constantly caused problems between me and my siblings and we have never been close. I can't trust any of them and so I stay away to protect myself. It's very hard and I understand how lonely you feel. Try to involve yourself with groups that do things you enjoy and make new friends so that you aren't so lonely. Just be careful and don't let anyone take advantage of you. You are in my prayers and I hope you find some happiness.

[@elisabrown726]

You are still so loved. I'm sorry your family has abandoned you 😔
