There is NOTHING wrong with needing a break. It's normal and it's also necessary! You can't be the best you can be without staying sane!
This sooo true! We all need breaks and I think the kids need breaks from us, too. If someone tells you that it is wrong to need a break, then either they don't have kids or they are lying. Do not ever feel bad about needing a break. Heck, my husband was just on vacation for 17 days, I needed a break yesterday and I took it! He's a great man, but sometimes you just need some you time. |

Hes a handsome young man, how old is he, I'm sure you said it but cant remember? Equestrian Therapy is the best thing that you are doing for him, I have heard so much good come out of this..Its great that you have your own horse and he can ride as much as he wants. |

He is definitely my heart baby.... born on Valentine's Day, my only child, too. And, me and that little fella have gone through a lot together. I am confident him and I could face the world together. |

Location: the end of the rainbow | You are a great mama & you are doing an amazing job with Memphis. Check around in your area and find some autistic support groups and programs. There should be programs in your area that will help teach you some skills and give you ideas on how to help teach Memphis. Honestly you will love the opportunity to talk to and get ideas from other parents who can understand how hard you are working. |

Location: SW MO | I know this reply doesnt have to do with the post you are referring to, but I work for a school for autistic children and was just going to see if you had looked into applied behavior analysis? We have many non verbal kids who learn to speak here. |

I am not sure if I have looked into that, or not. I have done so many things. Right now, he is going through some testing for the school board to see what other kinds of therapy he would need. Can you PM me with more information regarding this? |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I don't really have much advice. Just love that baby with everything you have! You'll be his rock when his world is spinning down. Maybe find other mothers with children that have similar issues? They might be able to give advice as issues arise? You can have a shoulder to lean on with someone that will understand exactly what you are going through. Many hugs to you!!! |

| My 3 year old son is mildly Autistic so I know all about the stresses that an Autism diagnosis comes with.At around 18 months My son stopped talking, he also seemed almost depressed and was not making age appropriate progress with feeding. Got him evaluated and into an early intervention program as soon as I could. We are so fortunate to have these wonderful supportive people helping my son. He has made great improvements in almost all areas except with his food aversion. His speech therapist was upfront about it, she said he will always have a limited diet:(
I have had people make rude comments about my sons limited diet or my chouce to be a stay at home mom. But they have no idea what he and I have gone through and I never feel like I have to explain anything to people who ignorantly pass judgement. Their opinions DO NOT MATTER. |

YES!! Thank you! Memphis's diet is very limited, as well. He eats very few things, will not try anything new... his main source of food is... waffles. He will eat them all day, every day. Or hotdogs, which I find disgusting, lol. Memphis also stopped even trying to talk around 18 months or so... I thought, with everything he has went through, it was just his way of coping, you know? |
