RE: Hope: How Your Struggles Can Bring Hope To Others

in Silver Bloggers3 years ago

I reiterate what Fiona has said, >hats off to you and your team!

I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been for you and your wife.
My cousin now is in his 40s, can function socially, can read and write despite what the psychologists told them back in the day and he has some really special skills. He likely has Aspergers syndrome although not diagnosed as such back in the day.
I've shared some of his work here on Hive, the latest blog can be seen HERE, I'm sure you will enjoy reading it.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story with us!

Thank you. It was very tough especially for the initial 1 year when my wife and I went to see specialist after specialist to find out what's wrong with Jonathan. His autism diagnosis was obtained only 1 year later. In that 1 year period, Jonathan went from being able to talk to just chanting nonsense. It was an agonizing experience that my wife and I hope that other parents do not have to go through.
Most of the credit actually goes to my wife who as the President put in the most work.
