Today has to be the worst day I have had since Elliott was in the NICU. We met with the doctor and she confirmed our fears… I can’t tell you how hard it is to even type right now. I had to hold it together so I could drive home. Emmett is not “Non-verbal” Autistic but he isn’t Aspergers either. Basically he it’s better then non-verbal but worse than Aspergers. To be honest I had been thinking Aspergers but he is far to delayed developmentally she said. He isn’t completely non-verbal as he has a few words. She said he makes eye contact but won’t maintain it. So he is Autistic…
I somehow thought it would be easier to knowing for sure but it isn’t….. In truth, right now I just don’t care about anything. I just want to curl up and cry…….
Thank you are all the messages and emails. I wish I had to energy to respond to all of the but I don’t. So please accept my sincerest thank you…….
What in the world could i possibly say??……….You've got the right to let it out, so if you need to, please do.So many questions that don't have answers, so much consumption of every day life that everyone else takes for granted, so much anger and pain without any end in the future………..I only wish i had the magic "cure" for all our little ones that suffer because of their afflictions………All i know how to do anymore is pray that everyone effected by this kind of thing somehow manages to have the strength to hang in there the best they can, but most time it doesn't seem to make much difference. Hang tough Rob……….
Thank you
I know saying how sorry I am of the news doesn't help but I really feel your pain as I go through this journey as a devoted reader and follower of yours.
