It's been a long day, but before I went to bed, I wanted to share this with you guys (and pretty much the whole world, actually, I'm so bursting with pride). I am so INCREDIBLY proud of my sister right now. She confronted one of the most frightening things to her in the world today: driving.
Caley's been so incredibly scared to drive, particularly without me helping her, and some people said she never would (which when it comes to autistic people or any people, to paraphrase Jess, 'you should never say never unless it's to say you never know'). And today she did. Not for the first time, but for the first time in many years without me by her side, and on major roads to boot. She's doing this at her own pace, on her own timeline, and she is pushing towards her goals and I could not be more proud of her for that. You've got this, chica!!!!
