Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 It's funny you mention not having a book to relate to. Some of you know I've been working on a book just such as you describe. My husband wrote the first children's book about autism--first published in 1992 and in it's third printing--and I've been working on a " sequel " for about five years. It's a collection of essays about raising a child with special needs and his NT siblings. I am just about finished and am in the editing stage. From time to time I've posted an essay on IPADD, here and there, from my book. I was a ASA local chapter president for about five and half years and one of the things I noticed, especially from younger parents, was permission to feel grief or bad or resentful. You feel those feelings and you can move on and it's even easier to move on but you don't know that in the beginning. Many times, we all put on a brave face, afraid our fellow special needs parents will think we're wimps or weak or........but the rest of us feel the same! I will share this--the year my middle son got his B.S. was the worst time for me. had aged out the year Greg graduated from high school and it was so bittersweet but when Greg got his B.S.......and then their cousin got married a few weeks after that. I was a wreck! Even worse than 16 and no drivers license! This empty, sad feeling strikes you in otherwise happy situations and you're not prepared for it. But, it's a little less intense the next time. I am doing laundry, water plants and doing some editing today. I will post another one of my essays later. I think I know the one.....

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I met a mom at ice skating on Saturday, her little boy is 5, they're not quite sure what's up with him yet, lots of sensory issues, cognitive delays and he sort of falls into the " we're not sure yet what to call it " category. This mom was so upbeat and I told her that her attitude alone was going to be the biggest help for her child. I also applauded her for having him enrolled with SEaspar activities at this young age (I was so not into the special ed rec stuff when was little and really do regret it now) since I told her it not only get him involved in outside of school activities but also brings about a new network for her family. Her daughter who I would guess was about 9-10 sat there watching her brother basically being hand held the whole way with smiles on her face. It was nice to see, I'm glad to see things are changing since 1992 when I had , or maybe my eyes just weren't wide open......... H. My Book It's funny you mention not having a book to relate to.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Dear , I don't think things are really that different BUT autism is in the news much more often, so people have heard about it. Your son was born in 1992, just as the " ..... " book was being published. I'm sure you had heard of autism but really didn't understand it. Russ was born in 1980, when many people still believed in the " Refrigerator Mother " explanation of autism--let me tell you, THAT was a trip! The mom you met may have already gone through what you and I did, but earlier. Attitude is everything and having a network of other parents to talk to--even on the internet--makes a world of difference. Parents of " perfect " kids have a network of family, friends and co-workers to share parenting tips and stories and supports but most of us have not. IPADD and other online supports are our lifeline. And those of us with older kids have to share our tips with you--I believe it is my duty. You have already stepped up--by telling that mom her attitude will get her through--you've entered that older moms circle. You probably made her day. Congrads! Keep it up! We'll be here for you at IPADD as you enter the next phase and you must be there for those that follow you, too. Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
