It's hell. It hurts, and your heart will break more times than you imagined humanly possible. "Professionals" will see no need to dig deeper or offer any kind of help that would actually be useful since your child doesn't physically look disabled. Parents won't let your child come over to play because he's "weird" and they fear the other kids will make fun of their child for hanging out with "that retarded kid"... or worse yet - they will fear his weirdness could be contagious...
You will blame yourself. You will blame those who blame you. And yes, you will even blame your child.
People (even family members) will leave your life because it's "just too much". At times, you will envy their ability to leave.
I think now is one of those times for me. Of course I won't leave - not because I don't want to - but because I can't.
