[QUOTE="Jena, post: 426279, member: 4514"] hi it is something that as many other things in life has stages to it. You grieve first, than you are in shock, denial slips in at times, than comes action and acceptance. it's perfectly normal to be upset. I was a wreck when my difficult child was first getting all her diagnosis. I do agree though odd is not helpful. an evaluation sounds like an excellent idea to get to the bottom of it. Begin there....... and none of this is a death sentence by any means........ there was this great quote written long ago..... i'll probably get it wrong yet here goes. raising a special needs child (any child with any diagnosis etc.) is like getting on a flight to let's say california. you have your tickets, map of the area, your plans all lined up, hotel etc. yet suddenly the plane changes directions with no forewarning..... you land in a foreign country. where you dont' understand the language the culture, the people or your surroundings. yet time goes by you learn the language, the culture etc. and you begin to see that this foreign land is just as beautiful as your originally scheduled destination. it just took time to learn all the different things. now for sure i messed up the country lol yet you get the idea. youll be ok, he'll be ok, and your family will be also. I've come to realize that with just about any diagnosis of mental illness along with all the burdensome things and challenges it presents each child seems to possess an amazing trait from it. for instance my daughter is bipolar. is it hard?? no doubt. have i cried on occassion?? yea! yet along with the bad comes this amazingly smart, creative and talented individual who has a whole lot to share with the world someday. hang in there!! it will be ok [/QUOTE]
