This morning we went to a child pyschologist who told us our son, Avshalom, falls on the Austism Spectrum. This was difficult news for sure. He said he believes it is very mild but on the spectrum nonetheless. It was a morning we will never forget. Of course at this point we have a million questions and no answers. We left the office not sure what to think. Could this be true? What hav we missed and for how long? What can we do for our little Avi? At this point a lot of tears have been shed and a lot of cuddling has happened. Through tears and prayers we look to the future wondering what it holds. We have appointment with a specialist who will tell us more. Of course its more than a month away; leaving us to worry, to wonder and to wait. The hardest part is not knowing what to think or do. We have been given a list of "resources" to help guide us through this time in "limbo," but its hard to read when you feel like action is nessecary. I feel like its a battle, me against this great unknown called Autism. I have many fears and concerns, but most of all I have hope. Autism may have taken hold on him but I hope we can take back Avi.
