John Paul could do math. I have dyscalculia. which is a math disability. I could never do the math that he can do. And his poetry and his writings, they were just effortless for him. They aren't coming from me. I can't do what he could do.
The thing is, Kai, we can't all be lying. It's frustrating because everyone listens to the experts and take their word for it. In my case, I honestly didn't know that this was so controversial. So I looked into it, I tried it, and it changed our lives. It makes me sad they say we're these desperate parents that are making this up or whatever because that's just not true.
Every child who was gaining, learning something and being able, they lost their voice. It happened so fast.
It actually brought our spelling to a whole new level because I didn't realize that there were times John Paul couldn't feel his arms. You know, he needed just a little resistance to get things going.
And without having tried doing from empathy, I wouldn't have gotten to an elevated place of spelling with John Paul. Some parents get to where they just have to put a finger on their shoulder so that they can feel their arm. One parent, I know this sounds crazy, but she actually just had to grab a strand of hair of her child and cool a little bit so that her child can feel herself.
And that's where they got to. But John Paul sometimes needed me to just put a hand on his wrist just so he could push back initially to feel.
Not everyone needs it, but the kids that need it have to have it.
