Moving From Denial To Hope.

isn’t just a river in Egypt. it’s what a lot of parents cling to. It’s time to come to terms with the term, or diagnosis – AUTISM.

Saying "plz don't use the word autism as I don't believe in negative talks "!!!!

Plz note neither life nor autism is math that it will have positive or negative ........

Autism is a diagnosis not number ......

“My son stopped talking, pointing, looking at us, but boys will be boys and the pediatrician said just give it a year and see if he grows out of it.” Guess what? Yep. Autism.

Why the denial?

The unknown is terrifying.

We don’t want to believe it.

Our doctor advised us to “wait to see”.

It can’t be true. It just can’t be.

I don’t have time for this.

He’s not that bad. He’s just having a bad week/month/year.

I didn’t plan this into my life.

We don’t have autism in our family.

But my son was going to be a hall of famer.

It’s just a phase and he’ll grow out of it. Right?

No. Your child has autism. And the longer you wait to accept the diagnosis, the more precious time your child loses. Early Intervention is KEY!

But do not despair. There is information. There is support. There is hope. There is treatment. There is recovery. There are kids healing. Lots of them.

Hope outweighs denial. Hope is achievable. Hope is real. Hope heals. #autismawareness
