He's going to be diagnosed soon, he's nearly 3 and is moderately/ severely affected.
I love my son more than anything. I'm just devastated life is going to be hard for him , and is already. I am aware there are lots of positives and it could be so much worse , but that doesn't mean I'm not hurting for him.
Thing is when I try to talk about the hard parts I'm met with "it could be worse" or "he will be ok" which are well meaning and lovely, but not always helpful when I'm trying to discuss my genuine fears for the future. It also makes me feel unreasonable for even breaching the subject!
