Our 3yo son Daniel has been exhibiting worrying behaviour for a while now, and today my wife too him to a pediatic specialist to get checked out. It seems there's a extremely strong possibility that he has Autism or Asperger's Syndrome. I'm not surprised because I work as a teacher aide helping a lot of kids who are on the autism spectrum, and I've been seeing little things with Dan that have worried me for a while.

This is just a tough time for us as a family. So if you are a person of faith please pray for Daniel and for my wife Kylie and me (Matt).

Matt, our community is great with their responses for prayer, as I can personally attest to. I will certainly hold your son Daniel up in my prayers, as well as you and Kylie. Keep us informed.

My wife works with autistic kids, so I kinda get where your coming from. Aspergers is the mildest form of autism I believe. I know over here there are free programs I could get you to look into that provide therapy in home. You might want to check out or do a google search on "The Early Autism Project" that's where she works. There may be a similar program that could really help you guys out.

Stay strong, and don't let a condition take control of your life. Let me know if you need to talk ,as always.

Prayers headed your way. I know people with autistic children and they have had a lot of success helping their kids overcome it. It takes a lot of work and dedication, but it can be done.

I will keep you in my prayers. I have friends who have children with Autism or Asperger's, and I know how much of a challenge it can be. Keep your head up.

Will do.

Fwiw, I have a friend with Asperger's (in his late twenties), and while he definitely has had some struggles along the way, he also has two college degrees, a job, hobbies, etc. I can't imagine how scary it must be as a parent to be awaiting that kind of diagnosis, but do know that, at least in my friend's example, Asperger's is not necessarily a life sentence to a low quality of life.

Today we got a preliminary autism diagnosis.

Sort of feeling crushed and relieved all at once.

Thanks everyone for your prayers, and please continue to pray for us as we move forward.

We feel like God created Daniel exactly the way he wanted him, and chose us to be his family.

Matt, a few weeks ago my wife told me that she believes God put her in chemo to minister to the people getting chemo that day. She prays that God brings someone there that needs her. She actually looks forward to her chemo sessions, and has great stories to tell every Wednesday night.

Point is, at this point you really don't know what God has in store but it may actually be in the form of opportunities rather than burdens. Our prayers are with you all.
