[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you're very brave for admitting this in a public forum.  Rightly or wrongly, I think if there was a prenatal test for ASD's many of our children would not be here.  I certainly know that the question of whether I would have terminated has crossed my mind on more than one occasion. I love my son dearly, but there are times when he can be so challenging and I worry about what his life will be like. Will he ever be able to live independently? Will he be bullied, incarcerated, or severely depressed?  Will he hold a job, get married, have children? At his age, everything is a question-mark.  There are wonderful moments with him when I'm so glad he's part of my life, but there are also dark moments that I don't like to admit when I think life could be so much easier.  I think all parents miss their carefree, selfish, pre-kids days but SN parents experience this more deeply. Hopefully, it's just a phase that will get better, but I think you would benefit from seeing a therapist with experience in SN parenting.[/quote]

Not OP, but can you recommend anyone? I tried someone in Tenleytown, but it wasn't helpful.[/quote]
