Hey, everybody! I'm the same LIZARD who posted on the epilepsy forum here. My 12 yo son, Drew, was dx'ed with autism at 2 1/2--nearly 10 years ago--and today, he's doing great, but any of you who have kids with autism (or work with them) know it's a constant challenge and concern. Now that Drew is an adolescent, I get nervous about the future and worry about how well he'll handle jr high and high school, how we can pursue any higher ed for him, find career opportunities, and encourage his blossoming development while dealing with the problems he has. I am also fearful of what may be in store for him down the road in regard to my ability to continue doing for him, due to my own very unpredictable conditions. I have become fairly adept at dealing with everything, but I know it can all change very quickly, and many of my friends have experienced some of the things that would make it increasingly difficult--maybe even impossible--for me to continue to do all I do for him. I try not to think about it, but how can I ignore it?? Anywho...I'm not here to be a downer. Just wanted to get everything goin'. Neeeext...? LIZARD
