Yesterday, we met with a doctor who diagnosis Harrison with Autism in 2005 for the first time since the initial appointment (Really it was 2005 is what I said to her) and after leaving the office I had a few thoughts:
1. Wow it was really almost 7 years ago that Harrison was dx with Autism.
2. The Doctor seemed really surprised that Harrison greeted her unprompted and asked her questions about the appointment.
3. That our fight with District 81 has been at least 5 years long in just trying to get services for Harrison and that most people would have given up by now.
4. We have the best support system in friends, family and Families Together!
5. That I forgot that I had a few cards held back in my hand to play and they were re-discovered last night and it is the time to play those cards.
6. That we are a family! We do things that other families with children do, however we just do them at different times, and in different ways. But we do them.
7. Our Dream of Taking Harrison to Disneyland for His Birthday/Christmas has finally occurred 4 years after we wanted but it was at a time when we were already and the best part is that we were able to share it with Grandma and Grandpa Armstrong!
