It's been seven months since the specialist told us that Seth was manageable without medication. At first that was a blow to my already tender nerves.
Now, as I've had time to adjust, I can see how fortunate we are. Even though he still has many symptoms that are difficult and frustrating to manage, we are learning. He is able to cope and control himself without medication. We can see what works and what doesn't (even though sometimes what worked yesterday doesn't work today) without wondering if the method is working or if his medication kicked in.
We are lucky.
Not just that Seth is manageable. But that he's ours.
