Your child will change for the better if you botex your smile in place but it doesn't work like that for some families. The sleep deprivation, time for therapy appointments, social isolation and extra expenses can wear you down. Your mileage may vary and it depends on kid's point on the spectrum but the overriding theme I get from autism orientated books and on online forums comes in a sugary sweet flavor. That just isn't me as I plan for worst case scenarios but hope for the best. My daughter finally started to get the potty training but doesn't do it independently but I see a ray of hope now. She's seen plenty of other kids use a toilet but seeing her little brother do it gave her some kind of inspiration I guess.
