[quote=Anonymous]My DS is 15 and we’ve always known as well but it didn’t really sink in until mid elementary (like 3rd grade). Making myself accept it more made things a little easier to deal with, like celebrating the little accomplishments (like pooping on the potty without having to be reminded to go do so). Doesn’t mean I don’t grieve. He is also in a wonderful school that goes to 21 which we (and he) are very happy with. I think that in itself helps because I know he’s happy and being treated well. It also lessens the punch about all the medical issues he has. School is so supportive - 2 teachers even came to the hospital (right before COVID) to visit him.[/quote]
