I am the fing MOTHER

Broader definitions, but also more awareness. It wasn't until the late 1970s/early 1980s that parents and higher-functioning autistic people were demanding more and better everything to help.

My problem was that I knew there was something wrong, but the pediatrician kept putting it off until the losing of speech (classic sign of autism - usually seen in boys though).

She just said mama like a week ago... she is official 19mo and.. god there is not a day that goes by that i dont hate myself. Had her bro 12-08 she was conceived 04-09 born 1209.. I still have days where i wonder what i did wrong with my son... he died... 1-09... maybe it is my fault... maybe i could have done something better...

then i tell myself you know what it is not the end of the world, it doesnt make me a bad mother, she didnt do anything neither did i and it is just a random spin of the wheel.
