A couple of weeks ago, we finally got in to see a child psychologist. She prescribed Zoloft for Sawyer, and it is working wonderfully for him!
If you haven’t heard RFK Jr’s disgusting comments about autism spectrum disorder by now, you’ve been living under a rock. I have never gotten political on this blog before, and I never intended to. However, with everything going on in the world right now, I cannot stay silent.
Sawyer often tells me he feels like a failure, or that he feels like he’s stupid. He has told me multiple times now that he doesn’t know why he’s even alive. I tell him “God doesn’t make mistakes, and He made you because He thought the world needed one of you.” What I don’t tell Sawyer is that I feel like a failure because I can’t just magically make him feel better.
I had a conversation last night with a woman I met on Reddit in a group for special needs parents.
“Am I autistic?” I knew there would be a day when Sawyer would realize he was different than other kids.
