[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 590558, member: 15799"] Having an idea and thinking our children have something wrong is hard for any parent. Getting the actual formal diagnosis can feel like the "final nail in the coffin". You need to grieve the loss of the hope you were still holding on to. With the right interventions, E can overcome a lot of obstacles to a "normal" life and learn to deal with the other things as he grows older. I wish I had known my kids had these issues when they were E's age. I didn't have anyone to steer me in the right direction until I found this wonderful board when my boys were 12 1/2 years old. We have a lot of work to do in a short period of time. I see the struggles they have and are going to have and feel guilty for not KNOWING years ago. I feel responsible several times a day. It's normal to grieve the loss of our hopes and dreams for our children. It's a hard one to face. It's a whole new mindset. I'm glad you have husband to help you through it all. E is lucky to have you both. [/QUOTE]
