Devon is autistic. Those are the words I heard today from the doctor. Then came an overwhelming roller coaster of emotions. Grief, sadness, fear, anger, hopelessness and then peace. 7 years of looking for answers to questions that kept us up at night. Days when hurt overwhelmed us because we though no one understood. Times when parents would shun our son because he didnt do play dates well. Fear that our son would not be able to function in society. Anger when pediatricians told us we were wrong and didnt hear our concerns. Grief when the respite care person took him from my arms because he physically and emotionally wounded me to the point of exhaustion. Then Peace. Peace when the realization occurs that MY God is bigger than a diagnosis. God made Devon and knit him together perfectly. I can rest knowing that he has a plan for my beautiful son and all that life has in store for him.
