Aidan repeatedly hitting light switch
So when did it hit home that there was something going on with Aidan? Well that depends on who you ask. For me I really noticed around 18 months. Aidan had maybe spoken 1 word at the time and it seemed that he could not comprehend anything I was saying to him. He never responded to his name and he rarely acknowledged or prefered me from others. The repetitious behaviors were becoming more frequent. Endless times I would pull in the driveway from music class and sit and cry in my car out of frustration and sadness. Aidan was more interested in the door knob and looking out the window then participating in this amazing musical class. Why? Why? That was a question brought up at family gatherings, only to be told "he is a boy" or "he is immature" or my favorite "he will grow out of it". Others were concerned but kept quiet for the moment not completely sure themselves if something was really wrong with Aidan. Deep down I knew, but no mother wants to acknowledge that there is something different with her child. So for now lets just say that at this point it was still far from hitting home for me. Until God aligned everything so perfectly that I would come to the realization that I need to help my son.....and fast!
