It happened today ladies.. Zachary (19mo) was diagnosed yesterday with Autism. The evaluation took quite a few hours, and while knowing deep down he was going to be diagnosed, hit home hard and I wasnt prepared as I thought I was, nor was hubby. When I asked what they thought his level is between mild, moderate and severe they said hes not a severe level yet as theyd have to do some more evals down the road to see but they definitely rate him as medium/moderate.... And to continue with his OT and speech as well as he needs a one on one educator. Since he attends early headstart theyre trying to see if they can get an Aide in to be with him daily, or if we should bring him home and have an educator come to our house several times a week... waiting and screening out options.. Words can not express how me and my husband feel right now, although Im sure most all of you have been there as well. Everyone keeps telling me so much great advice but the fact is, we just dont understand why or how.. for a few years Ive been really testing my faith and trying to regain it and this, just puts a cherry on the cake... just, why And not to mention knowing the unknown is all we can think about.. how are things going to be? How is Zachary going to be in the future, will it/he get worse or will things be good as weve intervened so early? Is he going to become violent, will he have his issues including sensory and behaviors his whole life... its so hard to know the unknown.. I can now finally understand what everyone keeps telling me that its OK and its normal to grieve the loss of what future we thought of for our child... I am just so lost..
