I don't really know where to start. The teacher came up to us one afternoon, as we were picking up our two kids from school, and asked to speak to us for a moment. A lot of things crossed my mind....like, oh no what has he gotten into now, but he's only in 1st grade so it couldn't be to bad. Right?! Well the teacher told us that she suspected Ethan(our 8yr.old) of being autistic! Wow, what a shock! We really didn't know much about it but it just didn't sound good.
She asked that we give permission to have him evaluated....and of course we did!
I rushed home, very upset, wondering what I could have done wrong! I search everything there was to know about autism on the internet and soaked in as much info as I could.
As much as I read it was still hard to understand all that, that one word Autism holds! There is so many different kinds and types. So we prayed and waited for the evaluation!
