I won't lie to you...one of the most stressful things that you will deal with when having an autistic child is the invasion of therapists into your home. I say that like it's a bad thing, and it's not, afterall these therapists are in your home to help your child. When we started this journey a while back, I never imagined the stress and frustration would come from having your home filled with another person or two on a regular basis. It is one thing to deal with all the complications of life that a normal family has to deal with, but then you add another person into the mix, it sucks. I owe a lot to our therapists, and they are wonderful and caring people, but I can not wait to have my home back. Having your house pulled together and being on your best behavior while they are there is a job in itself. I promise to have a party someday when this is all over and we no longer need to have home services...and you are all invited!
This is my blog about a very special little boy, my son Ryan. He is a gift from God and a joy to all who meet him. Ryan is autistic, and I believe he was put on Earth, to show us all how to appreicate and view the World differently. There is something very special about Ryan. Please share in our journey. We have cried, laughed and have been blessed.
