[QUOTE="totoro, post: 281502, member: 3155"] Some easy child's can't make it on their own. When we were first looking for help for K, we were told to look into SSI and to have in the back of our minds at all times that she may never be able to live on her own. Our therapist was trying to ready our hearts and minds for the just in case. So that we were not living on the "River of Denial" as she put it. So that if that time ever came, we were not saying to ourselves, "Wow, how can this be, I never saw this coming!" Whether or not it was a "nice" thing to do, I am glad that somewhere in my mind I am a bit aware that it might be a reality. Obviously I am going to do everything to make it not so. I would just take it as a challenge to prove her wrong. I know it hurts. I am sitting here watching my just about to turn 8yo getting terrified of "Strawberry Shortcake". Yet she wants to be treated like a big girl, then I look over and she is humping on the coffee table! But we have time, we have time to help them. You have to believe and keep pushing him as much as you can and as much as he can take. I keep thinking with the time we have this will help with society and acceptance, better therapies for older kids... all of those things hopefully! Hang in there, please don't let this weigh you down too much. [/QUOTE]
