Before you get a diagnosis of Autism, you know in your heart that something is wrong and your child is just not developing typical. And then when the diagnosis comes your heart is torn into two because the hopes and dreams you had for your child has gone. But the question is: are the dreams really gone! I say NO! The dreams are just different. And now we wonder what will my little one accomplish. Will she change the way something is viewed, will she be a mom like me, will she change the world, you just don't know. Because its important to stay positive and know that Autism is just a different way they look at things and they learn different, it's just different not wrong.
The power of positive thinking can change your outlook. Yes, there are challenges! I know. Yes, there will be difficult days with lots of frustrations. I understand. But I also know that there will be awesome days, great days, and days she will make me be at awe! So we have to focus on those to get through the hard days.
It least that is what I have to do. I have a dream. I can't let the discouragement let me miss anything. Because every moment is important! My dream now is to see what the next exciting thing Abbie will do, and marvel in it!
