I know many people won't like me for saying that but I'm just speaking the truth.
The old me wouldn't have, the one pre disabled children whose only focus was earning more and more....post children and their various diagnosis, I was bloody desperate to get out of the house and have some kind of adult interaction and an adult identity, the initial loss in money was a minor inconvenience to the positive I gained from being in work.
It was only for a short time anyway, I soon moved up in the company, short term pain for a long term gain.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
