   Wow, this is an amazing post and everything that I’ve felt before! Although today was an actual good day, these are words that every exhausted mom needs to hear, sometimes…just to know that someone understands. Thank you!

   Thank you, and love and hope to all moms of children with disabilities, children with autism. It is a long, difficult, challenging road. Someday things will be better.

   Please don’t leave out the dads who are very ‘hand-on’ with raising their children! They also have those days and need our support and encouragement!

      Absolutely!! I’m so glad you said that because I’m actually working on a blog post right now about dads. My husband is extremely supportive and hands on like you said! I’ll be sharing it this week. Thank you!

   Just yesterday I lied on the kitchen floor in front of my two children and cried like a baby, helpless, exhausted and burnt out…for 1 minute. Not the best example for two girls eventhough the autistic one wasn’t impressed even the slightest. I feel like a failure in parenting most days but then again I’m the best person for the job (no other candidates anyway) so my mantra is: “I do the best I can” and pray for the best

      I am so sorry to hear that. I really hope today is a better day for you. Sending you lots of love and hugs. ♥️

   Thanks for this today. Been dealing with iep and teacher issues. My autistic son is having hard time and it’s been a rough few days

      I am very sorry to hear that. Keeping you in my thoughts. Are you on Facebook? If you look at my Love Hope & Autism page on Facebook I have tips for IEP meetings and how to create All About Me pages for your child. They have been extremely helpful for families. Please let me know if that helps. Take care!

   I needed to read this today. Almost a year after we made the painful decision to request our son to be placed in a therapeutic boarding school to help him gain skill for independence, a year of people probably thinking I’m nuts, a year of fighting with school districts to prove our son needed this.. today I get the acceptance letter from a nationally recognized program but I still feel like questioning myself whether I’m doing the right thing. Leaving it in God hands that I am. God bless you thank you for this

      I am so sorry that you’re feeling that way. Parenting is hard … no matter what, trust in yourself and know that you’re doing what you think is best for your child. I will say an extra prayer for you tonight. I hope it all works out.

   That was so beautiful it has actually helped me stand up and know I’m not alone at all even though I did feel like it before but reading the post has helped out a lot

      Thank you so much and I’m happy to hear it helped you!! You are never alone!

    Also I know being a autism mother with a daughter going through the same as me it does help explain that we aren’t alone

    Thank you I needed this…
