I love my autistic son more than anything, but can I just say that I hate how autism limits him. I hear autism Moms say all the time “oh I would never change my child”, but if I could take my son’s autism away with a wave of a magic wand, I wouldn’t hesitate. I hate that my husband and I will likely never be true empty nesters, I hate that we will have to find some type of home for him before we die, I hate that nobody will love or care for him like I do, I hate that his siblings will take on the burden of overseeing his care once we are gone.
