But it is something that can be worked with. It's not a death sentence. You will love your son and he will love you the same as if there was no autism. I'm sure there will be a lot to learn and it will be challenging at times, but I know you will do what is right for your son. He needs you, and you need him. Stay positive and keep coming back here when you need to talk or vent. These are the times you need to seek out help from others in your situation, meaning those with bipolar and those who have children with autism. You don't have to do it alone!
