Julia saying she's content with a family of three and then after holding a baby she realizes she's "not done yet." I was sobbing! I know I'm not done yet either. :)AutismWonderlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264928687181454025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774214343639058519.post-45810702116627379412011-04-15T08:47:02.003-07:002011-04-15T08:47:02.003-07:00Sorry to hear that!

We had another son and he is 2 and so far a regular chatter box and he pushes our autistic son further and makes him interact with him and they are slowly beginning to like each other.<br />Have a great weekendChristine T.http://applyinglotiontoamovingtarget.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774214343639058519.post-4405996130052659442011-04-15T06:58:26.581-07:002011-04-15T06:58:26.581-07:00Beautifully written!

I have a sibling who has a son with PDD-NOS and her other two children are typical. I have a son with PDD-NOS and his sister is typical too. I believe my son has done so much better (development wise) having his younger sister around, but with speech and socially. <br /><br />I wish for you only the best and one day I think you will have another picture to look at that will capture your new bundle of love. All the best!Mommie that Gets Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04507449626509854193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774214343639058519.post-35499338295227243312011-04-14T10:25:53.515-07:002011-04-14T10:25:53.515-07:00So sad.

((hugs))<br /><br />That said, after I had(my)The Boy and his diagnosis came, I felt, and still sometimes do, feel the same things. "What if I had a typical child? Would I love them more? Less? Pay them enough attention? What if I had another child with autism? Could I handle it? Could I stand it?"<br />Here is what I know now. I wish I had another child. "What ifs" be dammed. It would have given my Boy a partner in life for so many of lifes hurdles and successes, big or small. Together from cradle to grave, and it would have been hard either way, but it would have been a precious gift for us all.<br /><br />If the opportunity presents itself again, take the chance. There will be room in your heart for both.

Losing a child is devastating and it's a pain I wish was not inflicted on you. You are an incredible mother to a beautiful boy. Take comfort in that. While I can't say I know what it's like losing a child, I know what it's like to want more. Good luck to you and your family; and hang in there! http://speakingonthespectrum.blogspot.com/2011/04/back-to-reality.htmlNataliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119445455238408452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774214343639058519.post-63531100506245203192011-04-14T09:53:52.858-07:002011-04-14T09:53:52.858-07:00Sorry for your loss but don't give up hope som...Sorry for your loss but don't give up hope sometimes blessings come our way when we least expect it.nycgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547362356664621943noreply@blogger.com
