A Buddhist might see Maya as a Bodhisattva, someone who chose their own rebirth so that they could be of benefit to others. Not only is the Indigo child empathetic, but there's a purpose to it all. She brings something positive to those who are open to it. In the long run, it may be her autism that brings someone else to become more empathetic. As a Bodhisattva, even if she only improves the karma of one person, then her rebirth had value. Just think how many people are touched, and will be touched by Maya. Some may not have been empathetic to special needs in the past. If she brings out empathy, or helps other parents understand their own situation, she's benefitting not only the parents, but also their children and their wider family and social circle. It's contagious :-)<br /><br />Also, you wrote, "She demonstrates an emotional security well beyond her years and that is often a deep contrast both with an autism diagnosis and a little girl who has learning deficits", clearly a result of your parenting, providing her with warmth, love and acceptance will do wonders for emotional security. We're still working on that one....<br />Zendettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194645014556311955noreply@blogger.com
