In early 2010 in early january it was a tipical day Baby LIam would receive his ot/pt therapies but who would know that this day would change my life. Thank to a change of events I missed taking my 3 yr old to daycare never had he missed going but that day he did. i dont know why . As baby Liam got therapy Isaac was just doing his rutine lining up his trains and making these animal like noises and covering his ears lining up the dining chairs everything usual to him, At the end of baby Liams session his therapist Edna looked at me and let me know that Isaac didnt make eye contact and asked if he was a picky eater and i said yes but he has always been like this she informed me that she was almost 100% sure my son was autistic she reffered him to regional center where Baby Liam is already a member and through extensive testing my 3 yr old boy was diagnosed with autism . I never would of tough there was anything wrong i just tough he was different he was himself. I truly believe Baby Liam some how helped his brother to get diagnose . If Liam wouldnt have whs and been receiving ot/pt I wouldnt have mett Edna wich diagnose him just by looking at him wich she help in getting him diagnosed and getting him theraphy treatment i truly love my children its been ups and downs but believe me when i say this there has been alot more ups than downs i wouldnt change a thing about my life i love it.
I have an 11 year old daughter with Autism. She is considered on the high-functioning end of the spectrum, but it is still filled with challenges that most people can never understand. I wish you love and peace on this journey; having one child with special needs is difficult enough; having two is obviously harder– some days more than others. I will share with you what one special someone told me that helps me when those hard days seem overwhelming: God knew that you were strong enough to handle the very diverse needs of these two children– that makes you one of his special angels on earth. Somehow, feeling like I am serving a greater purpose helps me get through those impossible days when there are just not enough hours in the day to get it all done! Your children are very lucky to have you as their mother…no one else could give them what you can…and do!
Thank you ! your words bring a smile to my face as i know that i will be strong enough to face whats ahead . Never have i felt anger or sorry for myself . i know no one will loved them or protect them like i can im a young mom im 25 now and no one really is guiding or teaching me if what im doing is right or wrong i am just following a mothers insting and i have great friends in the doctors and specialist therapist who provide their knowledge and help . I hope your daughter reaches all her milestones for she is a precious angel to bring something special to this world and mostly to you . her smiles her laughs her silly ways only you as her mother understands them and i feel that with my sons and i believe thats a very special bond . I dont care if no one gets why he laughs out of the blue as long as i laugh with him everything is good. good blessyou and your family and thank you for your words they mean so much to me especially this momment thank you .
