I just found out my 20 mos. old is autistic. Every hour is an emotional roller coaster for me. Of course, my doctor has put me on prozac but NOTHING in the world will ever make me feel like I know what I'm doing. Yesterday my little Casey threw a fit only like one you'd see on a Lifetime movie and I'm totally freaked out. I feel so sorry for her and still can't believe people when they tell me it isn't my fault. I am a very hypersensitive person and I've been crying since we thought something was different about her...that was in January.

I just found out that my 27 month old daughter is autistic. It is an emotional roller coaster, however you have to be strong for your daughter. I know you feel sorry for her and I have the same feelings but even though you don't think so, she will pick up on that vibe. Trust me, I am the most hypersensative person I know, however this a time to be strong...let's try and not feel sorry for them. If we don't then they wont. Also, even though you think she does not understand, I have read many books that were published by autistic adults, and they described how they always understood and heard what people were saying but were never able to respond,communicate or speak. Don't focus on the diagnosis because if you have seen some autistic childen at 5 or 6, with therapy most people will not even know there is anything wrong. The other day my daughter and I were in a toy store playing with a train table and the boy that was playing with us was autistic. I did not even know untill the mother metioned it. She probably mentioned it because she noticed that my daughter was not responding to her when she said hello.

Hi my 2year old son was diagnosed with autism 24/3/06, i knew there was something wrong but wasnt quite sure because he doesnt talk, point to things or even socialize with groups of other children he prefers to be on his own. well as you can imagine my whole world fell apart . it was the not knowing what i can do to help him that was the concern, when he was diagnosed we were just given a small A4 leaflet about autism and sent away but after surfing the internet and reading books on the subject im a bit more positive however i know its going to be a lot of hard work but i wouldnt change him for anything in the world because he is a very loving little boy who on his own terms he loves nothing more than climing up on my lap for a cuddle.
So i say just love your child no matter what and when things get bad stand back, take a deep breath or have a good cry and remember that your child really does love you......
