  • My son has been diagnosed with autism and it is depressing my wife. Please help.

    I am sorry to hear that your son has been diagnosed and your wife is depressed. I have questions about whether she is depressed or responding with normal grief for the loss of her expectations for a son she thought would be healthy. It is normal to respond to the diagnosis of a chronic neurological impairment with a time of loss and sadness. Please consider seeking a consultation with a therapist and perhaps a support group for new parents of children on the spectrum. Life will offer up extreme challenges with having a child on the spectrum but it will also offer you a deepening in your capacity for patience, compassion and successes to watch your child grow and learn. My deepest wish is for you to honor your child by releasing your expectations and to grasp your role of parenting with creativity and discovery of this soul who is in your care. READ MORE
