Too bitter to explain. Since he was born I have always felt like he was too hysterical, too afraid to face this world. I didn’t know it was because the world has been distorted in his eyes, skin, and ears. It was difficult for me to exclusively breastfeed him because he kept on screaming due to the lights, the heat, and the sounds around him. I have been sleep deprived ever since he was born. But the most heartbreaking experience was because people kept telling me that I was a bad mother, I felt angry at my son. Until I realized it’s time to take him to professionals. But still some people closest to me cannot accept the diagnosis.
I have great empathy with you, school was terrible here in the
