Re: The Day I Came Out of Denial

[Guest guest]

Coming out of denial was so traumatic for me that I had to write a story

about it. I know the older members have read this, but here goes if

anybody's interested.

Debbi,

Don't kick yourself about it. Even if you had known sooner, he still

would've been gone from any help after his mom took him.

I could have had my first son diagnosed 1 1/2 years earlier when it was

first brought up, but I could find nothing that sounded like him. He too

was a loving cuddly little boy. I wasn't denying the possibility, and

looked for information, but it wasn't there. I have to believe the same

could have happened to you. Our kids can have autism, but because they are

all so different, it's hard to learn about it until you realize how

different they can be. I hope this makes sense.

It does make sense, but the weird thing I said things that I now know

are typical like why does he say it once and never again. I would have

had more of a say-so in court and with the police had I believed

earlier. But that is water under the bridge now, he's getting the help

and that's the important thing.

Wish me luck, he has an intake for his pdoc Monday,

his MRI the week after that and an eval with the

school on the 31st.

Good Luck Buster and Debbi.

I remember the day I realized was autistic. I

had already accepted the fact that something serious

was going on, but I hadn't even considered autism

because (I'm ashamed to say this now) was

nothing like Rainman. Then I met a young man named

Yari. He's 3 years older than . I watched him

pick out a video in the library one day. He bounced up

and down, he fixated on one video and he made that

ee-ee sound. A cold chill ran down my back and I

thought " this is . " I asked Yari's aid what the

dx was. " Autism " she said. And I knew. My son was

autistic. It took long time to convince the rest of

the world, but I knew.

Yes, exactly. And believe it or not, 3 is relatively young for the autism

dx. Many are 5, 6, even 8 before anyone puts all the pieces together. And

Asperger's is often dx'd even later than that. was 2 and I was

repeatedly told how wonderful it was that we got him dx'd so very early. It

is technically possible to dx at 1 but very very rare.

Sissi,

Your story had such a profound effect on me. I'm even at a loss of

words to describe the feelings it evoked. Such a sense of loss,

sadness, helplessness, and feeling so small in the grand scheme of

things ... I know those feelings well. Thank you for putting into such

beautiful, poetic words what all of us feel. And thank you for sharing

it.

Damn, I wish I could find the words to do it justice.
