I have a daughter who is on the low-function end of the autism spectrum. She can’t talk, is only partially potty-trained, and has the reasoning abilities of a 1 1/2-year-old. She’s almost 15.
We’re currently in a search for housing that’ll accommodate her and our family.
It’s really disheartening to see people who look askance at us when they see her in her transport chair (if she isn’t in the chair, she can take off running and keep going until she runs into something like a two-legged pinball).
God has given us the strength to keep going, but it sure is hard sometimes.
God bless you and your husband.
God bless you both.
God bless you. I didn’t realize it until we got them into their twenties but Mr. M and I raised two special needs children. We just thought that they were challenging. LOL
