This post made me cry. We are trying to grapple with our child and are still waiting to be tested. What you describe in a day is what we deal with. How alone you feel is so overwhelming. I just feel like you peeked into our home the way you express everything. I pray that tomorrow will be better. It has to be!

Thank you so much for this post. I spent many years working with children who had autism and really developed a heart for them and their families. I wish more people understood what families are going through and the lengths they will go through for some hope of normalcy. I am sure many of your days are beyond exhausting. Thanks for helping us to see a tiny window into that world.

I'm sorry to hear that your grandson is struggling, and it sounds like if she bought one of Jenny's books she's hopefully on the path to discovering that it's better to acknowledge and seek help, then pretend it will all go away. The more you support and love them, the easier it will all get. You hang in there as well!

As the grandfather of a grandson who we think is autistic (his mother and father don't like uttering the word), I really empathize with you having three children that suffer with it. Her other two boys have developed normally. (I had a hard time forming that sentence). She's bought one of Jenny McCartney's books, but she still is not comfortable openly discussing it even with us, his grandparents. I feel like we need to all discuss our responses when people ask about him, but she won't talk about it. He's getting close to three years old. Knowone has asked directly yet. They've asked: How come he's so quiet? How come he don't look at you? Etc. We just laugh it off and say that "he is in his own world." Anyway, just hang in there!

You know I am right there in the trenches with you, girl. Truly. We are the ones who are aware. Hoping to make others not just aware, but understanding.
