Autism is like a magnifying glass on your life …
If you have a child with autism, you’re probably already aware of this concept whether you know it or not. Autism magnifies your problems. If you have money problems, most can expect them to get worse. If you have problems in your marriage, they will be harder to ignore. If you have addictions, you’ll be more tempted to feed them.
Autism will accelerate and bring to light your true habits. A “normal” family can continue down the same old path in blissful ignorance. Autopilot is not an option here. You must take action to out grow and/or solve your unresolved issues. Your child is depending on it.
While your problems are magnified, so too are your opportunities and your motivation. Resolve to improve all areas of your life and your child will benefit. Don’t wallow in the crap of autism. You can feel sad, you can feel down, you can feel any old way you want, but it is your ACTIONS that count the most in this situation.
