DS was given the official DX 11 days before he turned 3yo (November 2019). I keep hoping they've got it wrong or he will grow out of it. I read about other parents who say they wouldn't change their child or take the autism away, and I honestly think "what!! Are you serious??" I don't know if feeling like this makes me a bad parent. My son doesn't have all the obvious traits, his main ones are delayed language and social communication difficulties. Some would say, that's the definition of being autistic, but I can't help but be hopeful. Maybe it's my coping mechanism. I've been to 1 or 2 parent and child groups to meet other parents but haven't made any friends yet. Any wise words out there for me??
