I have 4 children. 2 of them were diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome… a mild form… last Thursday. I’m overwhelmed, but it isn’t a diagnosis that scares me. It breaks my heart for how difficult things may be for them. I adore both of them so much. I want life to be easy for my kids, but it isn’t going to be. Even without Asperger’s our children will face trials and sorrows in this world. All 4 of my children will face something in life that isn’t easy. But as a mom, I really wish I could spare them all the hurts and traumas and sadness, but I cannot save them from everything.
Praise God he is good and just and merciful.

You need to be talking with my eldest, Meghann. Four children, two girls, two boys. One boy is diagnosed autistic, the other has Aspbergers. And she amazes me with how well she deals with it all.
