[quote=Anonymous]This is supposed to be a SUPPORT forum. So to the poster who said, "Grow the f%$@ up," why don't you shut the f#@$ up or go elsewhere?

A previous poster said if there were a prenatal test for ASD she bet that most of our children would not be here. Some still would, but not most. Especially depending on how severe the ASD, the ASD characteristics are so difficult to manage even for the best and most knowledgeable parent. Life is hard for the parent of any child with severe disabilities.

Sure, the child needs the proper resources to get help. But even with the best resources, ASD, especially if discovered after the age of two or three, is a tough case to improve.

And the parents of children with disabilities need all the support the coaching and assurance in the world because they have the monumental task of taking full responsibility and care of a special needs child. Without providing the parent with that kind of reinforcement, they can not be the best parent to that kind of a child.

I am very angry at the poster for lashing out at the OP who is appealing, very honestly, for help. She came here for help, not to be abused. Do you think with your response she will improve her situation or her child's life?

OP, definitely seek counseling and support for yourself. See if you also need depression meds. It is very common for parents of special needs children to suffer from depression.  Also consider respite care and take vacations. Consider getting a regular babysitter who is interested in special needs (maybe a college student studying this). Put your three year old in a stroller and go for walks. The exercise and fresh air and change of scenery may help. Also put your daughter in an aggressive program. Consider The Floortime Center where they have just started a new program to prepare preschoolers for regular school. It is apparently a comprehensive therapeutic program. This will not only give you a break but it'll be good for her. It's in Bethesda and run by Jake Greenspan.

Good luck to you. I feel for you. You have my support.[/quote]
