Your son is lucky to have you for a mom. You love him so much, and you accept what is, which is really all we can do in the end.

aw(earthmama))))))))))))))))))))))Im sorry. I know how hard all of that is. The wondering the worry. I have dealt with that all his life.High functioning is good

. Your right the watching of them not fitting in is heart breaking. As I have said before I had so many friends that really forced the fitting in thing early. He did not fit in with the kids. But the adults really made the difference.
Now he does not fit in with the kids around here, because he changed for the better. So hard to explain.
His thinking will always be different. As you know. As he says sometimes when its not a good time for him. He can not get out of his thoughts.
I do want you to know there is hope and lots of it. He went from not talking to talking. To not being socail to being socail. From no sports to being able to do them. Of course not with out hospital visits lol
It went from at a point I could not let him out of my sight,. To being able to be on his own.
I am so blessed. As you know thou somedays can be just plain hard.
The sleep walking thing at times can be funny, Last nights was not.
I pray every day , he will make it in life. He has come so far.
The truth is I have learned so much from him. I can still see him as a baby...what a gift....
Its so hard on them. But boy do they have a inner will like nothing I have ever seen.
((ty)) for saying I am a good Mom. LAst night I wondered if I was. Today I reliaze I have no control over the sleep walking.
I just want him to have peace.
I will keep you and your son in my thoughts. If you need anything let me know. Im 10 years ahead of you on this LOL
Your a good Mom too.I know cause I can tell you feel his pain.
