Not to mention, Q, that it's really none of your business whether or not JB and LDS_Forever have more children. I think that was a really rude and childish thing to even ask. It's their decision, and you have no right to judge them for it either way.

I've been around some children diagnosed with autism. The experience gave me a look into how challenging it can be. I really hope you get some relief soon. Just keep your thoughts positive something will work out.

I am a parent of a 6 month old. No special needs here but I feel pretty tired too.

As tiring as it is your children make you, there are those moments that make you love them even more. I've heard from parents that have children that are mentally handicapped and other physical challenges that it has often been a blessing for that child. In one instance, the patriarchal blessing mentioned that Heavenly Father used the physical/mental limitation as protection from the advisory. Had he not done so the devil and his angels would wreak havoc on this child because according to the blessing, the the spirit within had been one of those that escorted the devil's angels away from heavenly father's presence.

Remember the devil and his angels do not have the veil over their eyes, so they know exactly who we were. Anyway, that gave me new meaning to not think how unfortunate that the child can not function as other children do. Yet, they will be saved in the end, and not bothered by temptations and are innocent before the lord because of their prior lives.

Introduction Pandora

Hi camell052, thank you for the note. I appreciate it.

About the story you mentioned, I heard about it I am not sure if you know but it is one of those faith promoting stories circulating on the net, it is not real however I can understand the need of people trying to find an explanation while going through so many challenges as a parent of a special needs child and looking for answers, the most common being "why".

Our situation I think is a little different from the average family with a special needs child. In our case, we have three kids and ALL of them have special needs making the whole scenario quite different and extremely stressful.

I decided a while ago to take one day at the time, it's the best I can do. There are better days than others and even though worry and fear overpowers me sometimes and stress, I try to make the best out of it. It's literally "survival" nothing more, nothing less however I can understand that unless someone is in our shoes, they will not be able to comprehend the magnitude of our situation and of course, I don't expect them to!

I am very grateful for every word of support and encouragement so thank you for taking the time to write on my thread and share your views.

May God bless you and your family always. Take Care.
LDS

I'm sure there are some stories out there. I'll see if I can get my hands on one. As I know the actual person with a blessing along these lines.

Pandora, how come you didn't participate in role-playing games anymore? I saw that you did, but you are not as active as before.

Hi Felipe, thanks for your question. It is usually because of time. I have a full time and very demanding job that takes a lot of my time and when I am free I usually just rest.
