Well today it happened. After three and a half years we got the "official" diagnosis for S. He has Autism. This is not a big shock to us...we've lived with him for 3 1/2 years...we know him...we see the signs and symptoms and we knew what they would say. S has Autism. So now what? Well now S will get services and therapy that he has needed for quite some time because now we have the diagnosis. He will also be tested at Riley Children's Hospital to find how severe the Autism is. We love this little guy....he came into our lives when he was 14 months old and he is our son. Now we know he has Autism.
I think I'm up for the challenge. I know God has this in control and on days when I'm not up for the challenge He will give me strength to face the day.
I keep thinking of David Ring, an evangelist with Cerebral Palsy....he used to say "I have Cerebral Palsy...so what's your problem?" His point being that NO ONE is perfect so S can now say "I have Autism...so what's your problem?"
