It all started when he was 18 months and still not talking.
I got worried. Mother's instinct is telling something is amiss, not normal. So I went ahead and asked my husband that we check with a psychologist and was told that my dear precious little Zeddy is showing signs of autism.He was too young to be diagnosed so she asked us to do series of therapies and enroll him early in playgroup.
Fast forward to a year and it's time to do a review. Zeddy still has the signs and is now clinically diagnosed to be in the ASD spectrum. It was devastating news.
Then followed my episodes of denial and crying out loud and crying silently and denial again trying to ponder how could this happen to my son? I followed everything when I pregnant with him and took whatever they say is beneficial to him, and whatever things I can tell myself that it's just not possible.
But, I'm over that. Now I feel nothing but love, love and love for Zeddy. I've been open to my friends and also very lucky to be surrounded with a very supportive family (grannies, husband and nanny) who's willing to work with me on making sure Zeddy gets all he needs.
Fast forward today, I created this blog to document my journey in enjoying a roller coaster life with a very special, loving and affectionate son of mine where I treasure every minute of it.
Enjoy and hope everyone finds this helpful. :)
