In my case it was the other way around I could roll with the autism. No big deal. But diabetes!!! This rocked my world. This scares me.

He is possibly on the autistic spectrum, though never diagnosed. We home school, he is doing well and is happy. I don't feel the need to get services at this point. But, he is so resistant to change. He is so disrupted by changes to routine. If the diabetes had gotten him, (or if it does in the future) we will be turned inside out. Our daughter, bless her heart, is low maintenance. She is the third. She has been dragged along to her brothers activities. I was lazy about potty training her. She rolls with it. She takes whatever we dish out. So sometimes I think the unthinkable thought, "thank goodness it was her, and not my oldest. It would be so much harder on him." And I want to snatch the thought back for the injustice of it. In the end though, we all deal with the hand we are dealt, and maybe all these thoughts are really just rationalization, and defense mechanisms. We are programmed to think our lot in life is preferable to anything else, no matter how bad it is, it is the devil we know. And it is what it is. greenpalmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270097172421228598noreply@blogger.com
