Initially, I was very confused on caring for my autistic child as I didnt know much about autism and everything seemed very confusing as my child is high functioning. I have come to realize that there are many emotions and concerns on my child's part that are out of the scope of autism that need support. I have learned how important it is to assist them in managing these feelings I also cared for my mother during the last few miles of her life journey. She has since passed but I learned tools to use when navigating this difficult space emotionally.
