[quote=Anonymous]Not OP- but I was worried about autism when my DS was born. It runs in our family. I was also worried about ADHD because it runs in our family. Turns out our DS has ADHD and some learning problems, but not autism. Coping with DS's diagnoses- is something I did after we knew for sure. Worrying and watching was something I did before. Yes, OP sounds worried- and it's okay because these diagnoses present a difficult future-- moreover they present a future different from what she envisions. It's perfectly okay to mourn for what we thought would happen vs. what actually happened. Anyway, having a kid with ADHD and learning issues is what taught me that we can handle difficult things and that my DS is great the way that he is-- I did not know what I could handle until we were in this situation. I know if it had been ASD we could have handled that too- but only because of this experience. [/quote]
