sad Dad

[Guest guest]

I think that it is just starting to really sink in to my husband

that Autism is something that his one and only, pride and joy son is

always going to have. Jeff loves his son and is such a good Daddy.

He is having to deal with the fact that isn't just going

to " grow out of it " . We have seen much improvement with

though, especially over the past year, and we still have great hope

for his future. Jeff is just kind of grieving by throwing himself

into his work. I feel for him. I think it is a bit harder for the

Dad. He doesn't like to talk about it much. He just supports me

getting all the help I can for .

In a way it is good though. I take it all so seriously, analize

everything half to death and needs one parent that is more

easy going. Jeff plays alot with , rough housing, fishing etc.

and I'm always tring to help fix . Yesterday Jeff explained to

how the engine in his '69 Ford Pick-up truck works and he was

so pleased that it held 's attention span for the whole

explantaion! =) Jodi

It is tougher on the dad. My DH has a hard time as well. I do all the prep work for IEP's etc... BUT when it comes time for all the meetings my DH catches up to speed and goes in there as if he is a lawyer. He is the one who gets the services. Without him I couldn't do it alone. He recently gave me a card recognizing my hard work and everything I do for my 12yr old son. it brought me to tears. As far as the car. My son is VERY mechanically inclined. He can take things apart and put them back together. He loves electronics. he also excels in science. it must be the way their brains are wired. The are fascinated by very complex things, but the little things just don't get absorbed. B
