You took my thoughts and the words right out of my mouth. We all do the best we can with what we are capable of...whatever that means for each of us only delivers the end result. Parenting a child with autism...an autistic child....and hoping to find contentment at the end of each day. Thanks again Tanya. You took my thoughts and the words right out of my mouth.

I wish more people would see things this way. When the Roc was first diagnosed two years ago I went on the autism speaks message boards and was FLOORED at the way the parents were attacking each other. I was hoping to find support and a direction after receiving the diagnosis and was left with a sour stomach at the violence with which these parents "spoke" to each other. Every parent has to do what they think is right for their specific child and as each child is different - they respond to different things. I leave those parents that I feel I need to tiptoe around alone - I just do not have energy for the backlash. You say this very well Tanya. I wish more people would see things this way.
