I still check out your blog now and then - hope you don't mind. Feel like such a voyeur...

One of my children was tagged as developmentally delayed when he was a little younger than your son. He lagged far behind the curve in every aspect - physical, social, emotional, and cognitive.
He is now an older teen and doing well although I am sure he suffers from some degree of autism. Like you I hesitate to have him labeled.
Hmm. I’ve both typed and erased a bunch. This is not something I normally talk about. Esp. not in a public forum.

Honestly, my life has been a little out the mainstream but when I wish to pinpoint the blackest, most difficult period; I would have to nominate the time when I had very young children. The children themselves were/are amazing and dearly appreciated. It was only how I felt about myself that was so blah.

Hang in there.

Katy- of course i don't mind, i put it out there, you can read it. If had wanted privacy i would have made this a private blog.

I know, i haven't really blogged about Aymans stuff. I don't care to put it out there much, but sometimes it is good to get it out there a bit. I have gotten some really good feedback (including yours) and truly appreciate it.

Yeah, i get pretty depressed, but i can usually snap out of it ok.

thanks for reading, Katy.
