Our story about adoption and autism with our daughters from China, one with autism, one without.
Doubt.
I don't like Mondays. Ask my husband. Joy and I like to sleep ,and Mondays intrude on our weekends.
Sometimes I feel like I am not doing enough with Gracie. SHould I be doing ABC"S and flash cards ALL DAY or should we just put a spoon in her mouth like you do to babies and just go for it. Do you ever feel like you are doing the right thing as a parent? Should we be farther along than we are now? Would she be eating more if we had gone in the other direction? What do people think when they see her and she doesn't talk to them like they expect her to? I know I shouldn't let these things bother me and normally I don't but today is a Monday.
Don't take this the wrong way. I believe in what we are doing. I just wonder sometimes, is it enough? I made an appointment for an evaluation from a developmental pediatrician recommended by my pediatrician and that isn't till January....2013!!!!!!!! THey told me it would take a long time to get one, so get one just in case....
If there was a problem, wouldn't that be wasting valuable time to work with it? it just doesn't make sense. But that is the system, and now with the new "healthcare" it's just going to get better, right? Right.
It's hard being the patient one all the time.
