8. - Don't Ever Rely 100% on What THEY Say...

In this episode, I talk about letting your child write their own story instead of you believing yours.  Getting an Autism diagnosis does not change who your child is.  They are not all of a sudden a different child but sometimes, we get so caught up in the diagnosis that we forget that.  We oftentimes spend WAY too much time reflecting back to life before the diagnosis and what might have been.  Instead of focusing on what you think you might have lost, how about getting more determined than ever and learning all that you can to make their life the absolute best it can be.  That is what I encourage you to do.
