I have found it very hard and emotional to accept some of the affects autism has over my son, and to know this is forever.My son is now in early inetervention for amost 6 months now,he's progressed then regressed.It has been a roller coaster but I'm accepting that now and embracing his world the best I know how.

Hi Yosamity,
I too have been dealing with this for about 6 months now with my son. He is also in special education preschool and gets speech and occupational therapy. I also have him in a regular preschool to be around typical kids, but I have to attend with him and sit in the back of the room and intervene when needed. It is very exhausting taking him to all his schools and interventions, but it is all so worth it! We will go along having several great days in a row and then all of a sudden we will have the most horrible day ever. It is a roller coaster and I still get emotional when we have the bad day. However, we now have way more good days then bad, and that is what I try and stay positive about. I still don't feel that I have come to terms with his disability totally, but I guess that just takes time. The hardest part for me is that we didn't even know that anything was wrong until after the age 3. Up until then we thought we had this perfect, typical little boy. He is also our first son so it wasn't as obvious to us. Just know that so many of us are feeling exactly the way you do. I guess my feelings are....This is what we got, so we have to make the best of it! Otherwise we will live out our lives feeling so sad of what isn't. Take care and good luck to you and your son.

this is the best way if you can is to accept it and try and learn my son is nearly 16 over the yrs i have fought for his right to an education which he has never recieved but i know that he is happy in his world he ia a loveling caring tennager who i have watched come to terms with himself, yes there have been alot of difficult times over the yrs, but i can honestly say that professional help hust madethings worse ,, just except your child as he is give him all the love you can and as he gets older you will see . my child has aspergers and PDA but most of all a mind of his own

You do realize that if you catch this before 4 you can possibly reverse it? Call a DAN doctor immediately Rachel West is great she is out of LA...She is my son's doctor along with Stephanie Cave out of
