My son will be 12 in July and was diagnosed with ASD when he was 4. What I wonder is if the feeling of grief during situations like this and many others ever gets easier? I loved reading your blog and will most definitely be following from here on out! I have a hard time explaining to others how I'm feeling about situations we experience when they have no clue what I'm going through or can't really relate!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794501222563873974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812824146717614356.post-49598157182061255542012-02-21T12:24:11.696-08:002012-02-21T12:24:11.696-08:00Katie, this post brought me to tears!

She does not want to talk and it has been so difficult for me to handle. I am trying to show her the importance of using words to get what she needs, but she simply refuses. I have been doing some research and I am finding sites like http://onlineceucredit.com/edu/social-work-ceus-pcs to motivate her to talk. I have found some great advice on this site and I hope you do too!Janenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812824146717614356.post-27458938462005007862012-01-18T20:37:10.056-08:002012-01-18T20:37:10.056-08:00Hello Katy!

Every parent feels this somewhat, but when the child faces challenges beyond his abilities it takes much more courage and insight. Thankfully, you share your insight with us. One thing that really helps is knowing we are not alone.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007256928803254957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812824146717614356.post-67044575562077395102012-01-05T06:37:03.249-08:002012-01-05T06:37:03.249-08:00thank you sweet Kate.

Well th...Katie, I check my face book now and then. Well this morning before going to work I decided to check it and I saw your post. I was unaware that your son has autism. I guess because we connected on FB but haven't spoken or seen each other in years. As I read your story, it made me cry, from one mother to another we love our children with all our heart and want whats best for them. My son doesn't have autism so I can't say I know what you are going through, but I can say Sean is blessed with the best mother God could have given him. You have always been kind, compassionate, sweet, tender hearted and much more. It's LOVE that gets us through all that we go through in life. And Love is what I heard clearly in your voice as I read your blog. Continue to have fun quality time with Sean, and embrace all that God has given you. God will give you the strength and wisdom you need to continue to provide Sean with all that he needs. Sean is an awesome looking young man, may he continue to grow and be adventurous and accomplish things in life that will surpass all labels placed on children with autism. Keep on sharing :) <br />Laura F. C.Laura F.
