[quote=Anonymous]I am the mother of a child with autism who was diagnosed less than a year ago.  I am slowly moving toward acceptance of this diagnosis, but I'm definitely still going through all of the stages. So much of my difficulty in getting through the stages comes from seeing my kid in physical pain and knowing that my child's autism is related to some underlying root medical cause, but not finding any medical expert who can help us.  My child has severe gastrointestinal issues and on good days when gi upset is minimal, the autistic traits nearly vanish.  On bad days like today, my little one is head banging and crying.  I'm determined to get through this and to get help for my LO but I feel so alone.  Neither DH or other family is interested in exerting any effort to help me find solutions, and I am physically tired from lack of sleep and dealing with my child and a stressful job.  I just try to keep my focus on how much I love my child and I try to do at least one thing every day toward ultimately healing my LO and finding the answers.[/quote]
