The Time Traveler’s Wife…NOT!

Not the best Photoshop job, but there I am with Eric!

Not the best Photoshop job...but hey I'm with Eric!

IF ONLY I WOULD HAVE KNOWN SOONER. This is the new autism parent’s mantra. And I’m here to say, it’s a huge waste of time. Even if I were the Time Traveler’s wife (which is unfortunate, ‘cuz that Eric Bana is HOT!) there is no guarantee that knowing earlier would have made any difference. I mean, think about it. If we had started kindergarten a year earlier, we would have a completely different set of friends. If we had met our current spouse in college instead of later in life, well…he would have been the first husband instead of the actual first husband…

Anyway, you get what I mean. Maybe you could go back and change things like Marty in Back to the Future, but I doubt the outcome would be any better. Constantly looking back is not a good way to spend your energy. And, quite frankly, looking forward isn’t necessarily going to help much either. It’s what you have, right this second, that matters.

I don’t know what else to really say about this subject, except that I really wanted to Photoshop myself into The Time Traveler’s Wife poster instead of that silly Rachel McAdams and so there ya go! Next time you feel yourself thinking, “I wish I would have known sooner,” forget it! There is just no way you would have known sooner…you KNOW NOW. That’s all that matters. That’s all that ever really matters.

    Lorna you are a classic! I love your style! This is so funny and so true! And just look at you on that poster with Eric Banner – why, I didn’t even realise that you weren’t the “real” cast! I am a big believer in “timing” and “fate”, and that with the big things in our lives – like finding husbands, and finding out our child has Autism, are all scheduled to happen at certain times, when we are ready, and when the planets align. My husband and I tried for years to have our babies and eventually went through IVF. Looking back, had I had Rosie 5 years earlier,I’m not sure I would have handled her diagnosis and treatment as well as I (mostly!) do now. Keep Blogging! Love it! Katie (I did Start-Up with Kevin in June, I’m one of the Aussie girls, and I’m a big fan of your website – mine’s coming together slowly.) x
