  • Then let her.

    Don't fight the autism, you will never win.

    Learn to move with it, and to accomodate it.

    Oh, and stop seeing these issues as 'terrible' and 'heart breaking' and whatever other negative terms you keep on using.

    You have, I don't doubt, a beautiful, but granted difficult, daughter.

    See the beauty, and embrace the difficulty.

    She is what she is.

    See what she is as a positive.
