Delete. Next moment, please.
I would like to have one moment where I don't have to think about autism. One moment where I'm not plotting how to rescue him. How can I make him better? How do I get him to stop yelling? Why is he a Jekyll and Hyde this week and not last week? What is triggering him to hurl his trains across the room? Why won't he eat? Why won't he stop yelling? Should I take him off dairy? wheat? sugar? Where is the closest hyperbaric chamber? Why won't he stop yelling? Did vaccines give him autism? Did I give him autism? Will he ever be "normal"? Why is he afraid of other children? Why won't he stop yelling? Maybe a support group will help. Will I ever be able to finish a thought? a task? a sentence? When will he stop repeating himself and make me repeat after him? Why won't he stop yelling? When will I be able to potty train him? Why won't he eat carrots? When will my heart stop racing? When will he know his name? Why won't he stop yelling? When will I stop fighting for him? Never.

I feel the desperation and anxiety...heartbreaking for all.
Can SO relate.
Love you, Robin.
