[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 676548, member: 17542"] Garden Girl, welcome to the forum. I am just catching up on your thread after being away from the board for a few days on a trip. Thank you so much for sharing your story. There is so much hope in your story. I don't have any experience with autism or the spectrum personally so I don't want to wade in with specific advice. You sound like you have done so much not only for your son but for yourselves---you and your husband. What a gift that you found each other, and have the kind of goals you have to give to others. You are a true resource, it sounds like, and I am sure the support group you are starting will be a gift to many. We can be a sounding board here, and you have gotten lots of good thinking and advice and support already on this thread. Please keep sharing and know that you can take any of our thoughts and ideas that you like, but leave the rest if they don't work or apply to your situation. We respect each other here, and we know we can't know a full story through our posts. One thing I have learned: We can only give so much. We are only human, and we can become completely depleted and exhausted trying to prop up another person. It sounds like your efforts to help your son have been rewarded with a lot of functionality in him, and that is wonderful, but....what about you? If you are at the end of a rope, then that is valid too. The fact that you posted here...now...may not be a coincidence, and perhaps it IS time for a change so you can have more rest and peace. I understand that would be a hard decision to make and one that you will go slowly on. Please know what we understand here, and we care. Our intent is good to a person I believe, and you can rest here with us. Again, welcome! I hope you keep posting. [/QUOTE]
