"Saluting Seth's God" Posted By: striving
Posted On: 07/14/2008
Stayed up last night reading some of Seth's entries under Forum-individuals with autism. He's has amazing faith. I made my kids listen to the entries. I think it taught my son a different view on non-verbal autistics and I do think encouraing our kids to have a strong spiritual belief in God is the key to anxiety relief, depression and peace inside; as it is also for us. I am ashamed to say I have not attained to the level of faith that Seth has. I suppose it harder for us to have such total dependence because we are so full of the pride of self. What a wonderful guy!!!! I salute him as well as God who resides inside his spirit.

I have a prayer Seth wrote when my son was having a bad time. I keep it on my son's dresser and read it to him from time to time. John is non-verbal and soon to be 16, so we feel a deep connection to Seth. One of my friends saw the prayer and read it and ask "Who has such amazing insight and word knowlege?" I said "A young non-verbal 16 year old like John." She was stunned and said "Well now I understand why you work so hard with John, if his mind is this smart, heaven help us!" heaven help us indeed...hasn't Seth taught us a thing of two about faith?!? ~ Cheryl

A wonderful idea--I will read Seth's posts to my kids as well. We have so much to learn...

I agree. I look forward to Seth's young wisdom. It's hard to believe that he is so young. I expect wonderful things from Seth in the future.

I love the way Seth reminds me that the way a person SEEMS is not the same as the way a person IS. Yes, he is full of very deep faith and wisdom.
