@thestartofthepuzzle: Grieving The Life I Thought I Was Going To Have With My Autistic Child 🧩♾️ This a full transparency moment for me . And I topic I’ve thought about everyday since I found out about my sons diagnosis . I HATE crying , especially in front of people . But I feel like this is something that a lot of Autism parents understand & feel . I know some of us can make this life look so easy but this is something most of us struggle with everyday . It’s ok to let it out sometimes . Even though I worry , God has the final say so always . So My Child Will be more than fine ❤️ #Autism #AutismAwareness #autismdad #fyp #specialneeds
It doesn’t really hit until I see other kids doing things. Makes me sad then I bounce back like F that we got this 🙏🏾 💪🏾

You’re doing a great job. Keep up the good work 💚 I kno it’s not easy my grandson has autism and he’s none verbal plus he has kidney disease/ failure and have to go to dialysis 3times a week he’s only 13 and we found out 3 years ago he can’t tell us if he’s in pain or what’s bothering him so my daughter is his biggest advocate and his voice when the doctors are trying to push him to his limit during dialysis trying to pull more fluid than he has and trying to tell her they have to then when they do his heart rate drops and he’s having muscle spasms. I’m saying all this to say you’re not alone 💚💚💚🧩🧩🧩

I cry about this all the time!!! Nobody understands this but other autistic parents! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had the conversation out loud to myself because there’s no one else there to talk to. My child is now 14 years old and she has no friends. Nobody invites her to parties or anywhere. No one showed up for her parties either so we stop having them at age 6. I had so many plans for her life when I was carrying her. So I understand everything you said. I

Same. My baby is 5 and I had to send her to a kindergarten camp so that I could get her IEP. Just knowing that I was just going to have to put her on the bus and watch it go without a way to contact her, I was crying! The thought of her struggling to make friends since she doesn't talk 🥹 Will they feed her the only things that she eats in her lunch bag... Will they watch her potty and make sure she puts her undies back on 😩it was all too much. It's been 2 weeks and she loves it!! We got this 💪🏾💕

Thank you so much for your vulnerability! Your feelings are valid ! The hardest part of this journey is learning that things will be “different”. But just know your heart and mindset will get both of yall to great places. Be gracious on yourself because you DID NOTHING wrong ! We experience constant worry , stress , etc but like your reminding yourself GOD got a plan for both of yall. AGAIN thank you for speaking on this cause you aren’t alone ! You and junior are protected.
