Conner, If Mommy does not wake up and you cannot wake me up, do not panic. You will be fine. Call 911 like we practiced so many times ... you know how you can do this. Remember to tell them your name and that you need help because your Mommy is not waking up. Give them your address (our home address listed). Tell them that you are autistic and that you are following your emergency plan. You are doing a good job, Conner. Keep going. You can do this. The 911 people will help you. They will stay on the phone and tell you when the ambulance is at the door. Open the door. You can leave me alone to open the door. It is okay. You can ride with them. They will help you. Call the names and numbers listed here (numbers of family listed). They are programed on your phone too. We have practiced this, and you did such a good job. If it is too hard, ask the ambulance people to help you. It is okay. You will be fine just like we talked about. Mommy will always be with you in your heart and soul. I will be a part of you, guiding and protecting you. You did a good job. I am proud of you. Now read my next instructions and the message I left for you. Ask our family to help. Each one of them knows about your message. Most important … Mommy loves you. You will have a great magical life just like we talked about. I love you beyond the rainbow, past the stars and to the moon and back. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I am so very proud of you. Good job, Conner. be “Mommy will alwayssoul. with you in your heart and I will be a part of you, guiding and protecting you. ” Sharon Cummings is co-Founder, Publisher and Executive Editor of ZOOM . 10 ZOOM Autism through Many Lenses ZOOM Autism through Many Lenses 11
