Hello Unfortunateevents. I am also new at this. I am also a single mom and have just diagnosed my son to be autistic 1 week ago. I am so worried and scare. I don't know what to say but seeing someone who is a single mom and going through this encourage me to write to you. Perhaps you can shed some lights to me on how long you have been through this. I am having such a hard time coping with this that I think I may have a nervous breakdown soon.

Hello Everyone, I am also a single mom of 3 autistic kids, ages 8, 10 and 12. I know that it is scary at first, but all you need is to get the proper therapies for your child. I don't know what level of autism you children have or their ages, but my 8 and 10 are pretty much non verbal, not fully potty trained and have quite a few behavior problems. It can be difficult at the beginning, but if you put your mind to it and don't let the school system bully you, your child, especially if they are toddlers, can improve tremendously.

Itl, I know that it is hard to accept the diagnosis of Autism, trust me, I went thru it 3 times! but I think that the first time was the hardest for me to accept, but it gets better, no matter what we love our children and I would not want to exchange them for the world, they may not be your "typical" kids, but they are great in their own little world and way.

Jla16, I don't know how old your child is, but I am having a really bad time with the school district. I know what you are going thru.

If anyone wants to chat, please email me at [email protected].

It always feels good to chat with another mom that knows exactly what we are going thru.

Thanks,

Sylvia
