Will bookmark to keep up with you and perhaps gain some insight. We have a 4yo AS son who was dx last June. Don't know if I can be of service but stop by sometime. Stumbled across to your site.

You really do have to think one obstacle/appointment/ therapy at a time. I remember the night before we had to go to the out of town 'big hospital' to get a DX I was so nervous and I was such a witch to everyone. When it was over it was a relief but also, just the begining. It can be overwhelming. You really do have to think one obstacle/appointment/ therapy at a time.

If I dwell on future appointments and driving there and all that I get nervous. I have also learned that we can't handle more than one doctor appointment in a week. We also cut way back on therapies. That was a hard decision but we decided most of them were adding more stress than help for Maizie and our family. We too try and take one day at a time.

Not always easy, but thats all you can do. I also learnt not to look to far ahead and do the best you can. Not always easy, but thats all you can do.
