Recognizing his gifts as gifts and not burdens to others is a gift you have given him. You are allowing him to be who he is and there is no greater gift to a child.

This broke my heart. Things can be so hard for a child who doesn't fit the mold, and so hard for their parents when right and wrong are unclear and all you're really trying to do is make things a bit smoother for them.
