A lot of parents find themselves without a support system, feeling alone in their struggles. My fiancé and I have been there. We even donated her organs to save three other children. But I have learned that the support you need is often closer than you think. Sometimes, you just need to look at how far you have already come. Being a parent to an autistic child is not easy, but I’ve found that prayer and patience can change everything. Thier are support groups out here, you just have to take the first step. My firsthand experience with autistic children in the Lexington City Schools system taught me patience and a new perspective.
