[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is autistic with learning disabilities. For large parts of high school, I wasn't sure he'd go to college -- HS graduation wasn't even guaranteed. I'll miss him, but I'm not at all sad. I'm so freaking happy we've gotten to this point.[/quote] I'm so happy for you and your son, PP! Congratulations and best wishes! Our youngest of three kids graduated from college last year. The transition to empty nesting was hard for me, but I want to assure you all that you and your kids can evolve and find a new way of being a family. You will probably worry a lot, but it's amazing to see them weather the challenges of adulthood. They will teach you new things and new ways of looking at the world. And they will bring new friends and partners into the family who will become your friends. Prayer and giving your dog entirely too much attention are both helpful strategies on this journey. [/quote]
