I watched this a few days ago and just cried. There is suspicion that my guy in on the spectrum and their video really touched me. ALL children are a gift but there is a grieving process involved. I think I am still there. Not because I think my child is flawed but because of my own expectations. He has taught me so much about grace too that I never would have gotten other wise. I am sure there is more learning to come.
I am grieving still too, Sandi. I completely understand. It's so hard not to grieve when you're in the first decade of coping. I've read that ADHD and autism are similar in terms of the parental stress involved.
I am also very much in love with my son every day. The emotions exist together--love and grief.
I will pray, Sandi. The wondering is hard, too. I'm sorry, my friend!
