Dealing with my child's special needs has definitely been challenging, especially in ensuring he receives the extra care and attention he requires. One particularly difficult moment was managing his severe tantrums in public; it broke my heart to see other kids' judgmental stares. But his progress in communicating his feelings and emotions has been a huge win. seeing him proudly assert himself is incredibly bittersweet.
