Innocence.

With autism comes the gift of innocence.

I'm not sure there are many 8-year-olds that I could make laugh with the simple "bite your fingers" game.  I know Corbin outgrew that some time in his toddler years.  It shows where my son is developmentally.

It also shows how happy my boy is with life. Oh, how I love that laugh.  It shows that he can appreciate such little things and be happy so easily.  I don't see much in life getting him down. I'm jealous of that a little bit.
