Originally posted by deanallison:So please excuse me for getting a bit sentimental on y’all but just under a year ago my fiancée and I were hit with the news our daughter had autism. When we were given the diagnosis we weren’t upset for ourselves but for the challenges it could cause her in the future. She was only 2 and a bit and we were lucky to get an early diagnosis. Fast forward to now and she is thriving, don’t get me wrong she sometimes experiences situations that cause her distress but she’s became so much more sociable and she’s very cuddly with me and her mum again. I didn’t think it was possible to be any more proud of my little girl but I’ve found more pride in her somewhere. Oh and she’s a bit of a u2 fan. I was playing SOI, SOE and TJT in full today and there she was rocking back and forth with a huge smile in her face. Little princess warrior Lucy.
