For the last week after hearing Azure has autism, so many people have rallied to support us as a family. I am grateful, and appreciate that for love we can all share with Azure.
I'm doing better. Crazy as it sounds i had to practice saying "my son has autism". Over and over until i didn't get upset, or didn't get that catch in my throat. Why was it so upsetting? I truly believe I'm not upset that Azure has autism. Hes amazing, magical, full of love and spirit. I was sad because this will be hard for him. Things in school, meeting people, having friends. I grieved for the social butterfly that he was a a baby, I kept looking for that moment when he switched from going on a "normal" development track of smiling, walking, climbing. To when he first starting showing signs of autism. I don't know. More importantly i don't care. I don't care if a vaccine, diet, "my frigidness", or the toxic water caused any of this. My son has autism. I couldn't be more proud to be his Mum
We have also gotten a lot done this week. Azure had a independent testing done from the school, they also diagnosed him with autism. When we went for his IEP meeting they already had all of his need and goals that i had wanted in place. The meeting was amazing! i felt SOOOOO much better after. As of Monday Az will be attending the special Ed class at Lewis elementary, Where he will be getting speech, ABA, and occupational therapy. Plus his teacher Mrs.M has been working with gifted kids for a long time. I have faith that azure will get all the help he needs in her class. Plus... I feel great knowing that azure is in a safe environment.
What will Eden and i do with ourselves??
