As I have been diagnosised since a child I was in one sense to understand autism though on the flip side I have my own struggles as an autistic parent. My son is very much like me however he hasen't got a diagnosis because he masks well at school and seems all they care about is the school setting. Anyhow, I love my child, he is a pain in the arse at times and hard work but I love him nonetheless. You just have to put strategies in place and do your best with what you have, that is how parental outlook has evolved. I always knew the changes of having an autistic child was high but that was fine because husband and I agreed that we would take it on X #spectrumsunday thisiswhereitisathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562590012796034024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-12890237035565436812019-09-02T11:54:15.948-07:002019-09-02T11:54:15.948-07:00Lovely post!

As you say, there is an element of awe and admiration which I feel about how he copes with things, which I think is making my love for him stronger (although I'm sure I'd love him more than anything even if he hadn't been autistic). That said, we have our moments, like all parents I guess... like just a minute ago when he chewed up a perfectly good crayon, at that moment I honestly felt more annoyed than loving, lol x<br />#SpectrumSundaySensational Learning with Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722372510407260358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-1368093953921048082019-07-21T15:46:48.244-07:002019-07-21T15:46:48.244-07:00Another one in agreement here.

As you say we don't plan to have autistic children but in all honesty I don't think much of what I plan for works out the way I expected so maybe I should just give up on planning and enjoy the moment more often #spectrumsundayThe Autism Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552358617150782660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-26170196817003401872019-07-12T13:12:12.173-07:002019-07-12T13:12:12.173-07:00Completely agree...we dealt with infertility, then...Completely agree...we dealt with infertility, then 3 boys thanks to fertility treatment followed by a little miracle in our girl who was conceived with no help..2 have sen issues and its been years since I’ve had any time to myself,years sincerely I had more than 4hrs sleep a night, I’m permanently exhausted,stressed, & lost but at the same time it’s been the best journey ever - becoming a mum.Jenni Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343907181030035029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-36470311225205387402019-07-07T12:23:42.196-07:002019-07-07T12:23:42.196-07:00I agree - exhausting and sometimes overwhelming bu...I agree - exhausting and sometimes overwhelming but without question the most important role I have ever had.
