Hi Everyone,
My name is Kathy. My dh is Greg, my dd is Juliet - 6, and my ds is Gregory -- 4. Gregory has been diagnosed pdd-nos for 1 year. He attends an excellent integrated preschool and is making progress. Still, he needs a lot of help and he has to attend kindergarten in the fall. I'm terrified for him. Even though I have been aware of Gregory's developmental delays for a long time, I'm still mourning the son I thought I would have. I love him so much and i wouldn't trade him, even for a second, but I am afraid of what his future will be. I joined this group for support, and maybe a link to some people with kids like Gregory, maybe even one close by that he could play with. |

| Hi Kathy. My name is Amber and I have a daughter Abrial, she is 6 and was diagnoised with autism when she was 2 going on 3 and I understand the way you feel. I was so worried about her in the beginning but believe me school has been a blessing! I was so worried and upset putting her in school so young, I mean I thought I was going to have a couple more years with her but it was the best decision I ever made. She blows my mind all the time. Now I'm scared to think of how she would be if I never let her go to school. Things get better and better. There have been challenges along the way but I'm with you, I wouldn't trade her for the world. I'll tell you something someone told me when she was diagnoised....God gave him to you because he knew you were the only mom who could handle it and give him everything he needs. You were chosen to be his mother for a reason. So I'll tell myself that from time to time and it really helps and makes me feel almost privaleged to be her mother. |
