Raising their children and providing for them for the majority of their lives is a parent’s responsibility. In order for them to live as peacefully as possible, it is crucial to not only provide them with rules and role models to emulate, but also to express our support for their decisions and our willingness to help them along the way. Some kids, like the boy in this tale, require more advanced medical attention.
He saw in his father a man of extraordinary sensitivity, even a man of truly original and admirable behavior.
The son of Luz Felipe Soares (47), Lucas Weberling is an autistic young man with Asperger’s Syndrome. Lucas’ physical condition has unfortunately led to a lot of unpleasant experiences. For instance, he was frequently the target of bullying in both elementary and high school.
Lucas, however, had a strong desire to follow in his mother’s footsteps and practice criminal defense law. He continued his studies and expressed a desire to attend college in order to get the associate’s degree required to work in the industry.
Without a doubt, Luz was pleased and proud of his son for making the decision, but he was also very worried about how well his son would fit in at college. He had a peculiar, almost “crazy,” but perhaps practical idea that might assist Lucas.
His strategy was simple.
He accompanied Lucas for a few hours while he was in class to get a feel for this strange and possibly dangerous world.
In addition to being concerned about Lucas’ condition, I was also anxious about returning to school because we were away from home, I didn’t know anyone, and I was unfamiliar with the area. Lucas’ cool demeanor actually distinguished us. I wanted to let him have some social time, so I stayed in class until the fourth hour. But his father insisted that he would not permit it.
The boy is more determined than ever to use law to change the world, and the anxieties and insecurities that come with his condition no longer stand in his way. His father and son finally received their degrees after extensive study and labor. They only need to pass the bar exam, which Lucas said he wants to make public. .
