[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is raising a child with autism really this hard?

I mean I’ve obviously heard it is very difficult but I’ve never heard of someone giving their kid away because of it.[/quote]

Yes, depending on the child, it can be unbelievably hard. Life-ruining. B[b]ut she elected to make that choice for herself and her family when she adopted-most people have the life thrust upon them.[/b] [/quote]

And for the life of me, I cannot understand why. How she didn't understand the magnitude of what she was getting herself into. He has severe autism, had a stroke in utero and possible brain damage, and the trauma of having been in foster care/orphanage for the first part of his life and difficulty bonding. That is a LOT to take on and bless those who do and do it well, but it is not an easy thing to deal with and it is a lifelong commitment. Truly, likely lifelong because none of this says "out of the house living independently" at 18. If you end up with a child with these issues, you handle it as best you can, but she opted in! It has to really be a calling to do that and she acted like it was just adding one more to her brood. [/quote]
