Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I will always remember the first time a psychiatrist told me my duaghterwas autistic. It felt like the wind was knocked out of me. I will also remember the day when her public school told us she could no longer go to their school because she was unmanagable. But I will also always remember the times she has hugged me as a gift from God. Tonight, she was clearly over the limit, and when we decided she needed to go o bed with mom, and when I listened to her voice in that room, I was so impressed by its similarity to her mother's voice. She is more than autistic, she is my gift. When I hear others talk about how it feels when psychitrists tell them their child's first diagnosis, all I can do is tell them to hug them tightly and remember their child is a unique gift to this world. When I hear others say how much work their children are, I can sympathise, but I must tell them work is something you don't like. Your child is not work. They are a blessing. they were given to you for a reason. Appreciate their strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. It is the same job evry other parent is given, its just a little bit harder. good luck to all of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
