How Did You Share Your Child's Diagnosis With Them (if You Have)?
Funny enough, a few months ago, we had been preparing to talk to my son about it, and one day he just asked me "Papa, am I autistic?" I answered him honestly and it turned into a great conversation.
I was never told that I was autistic. Once I started being homeschooled for middle school, I came across a paper with my official diagnosis. Immentadiatelty. all the dots connected, " No wonder, it was so hard for me to make friends and do math." It makes sense now. Everything is clear. I told my mother what I discovered and we had a long conversation after that. Acceptance of my disability was always hard since I was tough on myself. Being patient with myself is a daily struggle. I need to be reminded that I must first love myself before giving love to others.
@A MyAutismTeam Member, thank you so much for that insight. The journey of discovery is still unfolding for my kid, but knowing more about what makes him special has been 100% positive. He constantly surprises me with his level of self-awareness and his desire to know more.
He was with for the results of his testing. He didn’t really understand what that meant. I told him it just means you learn and see the world differently from others. And that every one is different.
He is very proud of his diagnosis and will tell everyone he meets lol
