I'm just doing a quick intro as I feel that I need to frequent this board more than any other ones. My two oldest sons (Ages 3 and 5) have autism and while I dont have time to go into too many detail right now, I just wanted to introduce myself so you guys dont think I'm just lurking or dont belong here. Thanks
Thank you ladies ) Its great to feel welcomed. My two boys have autism,but are on different sides of the spectrum. It's good to find a place where other moms understand each other and dont take anything for granted. My daughter who is 2 months old already has WAY better eye contact than my 3 year old, and while I feel VERY blessed to have her, I cant help but feel guilty and scared at the same time. I have a lot of faith, but I cant help but freak out over the thought of having her also become autistic. I've never known what it was like to have a "normal" child and while all signs point to her being "normal" I guess i'm just too paranoid. Its great that you ladies can understand that and I can vent about that here.
Re: Intro.
Welcome! As you have probably seen, there are many moms here that have children with ASD, me included! I have a 3, soon to be 4 year old with autism.
Don't be afraid to ask questions, the ladies here are wonderful!
