'Your child’s recent diagnosis might have been a long time coming, or it might have thrown you for a loop. Either way, having a lot of feelings is fine. It really is.'
My son is 4 years past his initial diagnosis, and I can honestly say he hasn’t struggled any more than his neurotypical peers. His strengths and weaknesses aren’t always typical, but they allow him to sail through some parts of life while needing lots of support in others, just like any other kid. He is happy. Quirky, brilliant, and In these early weeks after diagnosis, you will find lots of information about your next practical steps.
Your child will likely qualify for speech services, occupational therapy, physical therapy, or educational support. Maybe all of the above, depending on how much support would benefit them. Your child’s diagnosing doctor, your health insurance company, and your school system are excellent resources for you right now. They can help you nail down therapists, appointments, IEPs, and introduce you to other families with autistic kiddos. You won’t be alone, and neither will your child.
Maybe your kiddo will forge a path you didn’t see coming, but autistic or neurotypical, you were never guaranteed the future you dreamed for them. They never owed you that. They deserve the future Your job as a parent was always to support them as they become whomever they want to be. When autism entered the picture,Your kiddo just needs a little extra support and permission to be their full self.
You can’t change the world for your child, but the world you construct in your home and your heart can be safe for them, accepting, welcoming, and kind. Your job is to connect them with the support they need, then just keep dreaming of the endless possibilities for your child’s life, and cheering them on as they meet goal after goal.
No matter the path, I promise you this, from one autism mom to another: There are so many beautiful days ahead.
