Today was a bad day. The worst so far in a series of what I am sure will be many to come. Today was not a normal day for us. Normally a normal day includes no face punching TV kicking meltdowns. I am scared that this is our new normal. Jack just turned six and just over a month ago was diagnosed with Autism. This didn't come as a shock. We often hear the phrase "OH! he doesn't look autistic." What exactly does autism look like? My son isn't a hand flapping non speaking uncontrollable child so according to others we're so lucky. They aren't wrong. They aren't right either. Autism is hard, so hard no matter what end of the spectrum you're looking at it from. Today we had a bad day , but we don't have a bad life.
