It has been made official by the final verdict of Joshua’s developmental pediatrician that he has Autism. My heart already goes out to special needs kids. I am passionate about them getting grace, mercy and the help they need. We will be fighting hard for Joshua to get the best of education and the greatest best of care all the more fiercely. We had suspected all along that something wasn’t right with our son. It intensifies my desire to use pet therapy to help special needs kids. Although my son and Mercy are working out their differences right now, I know they will be tight and inseparable in the years to come. I would gladly train Mercy to be a support dog for my son as well as a therapy dog. Our God is faithful. I know He has a great plan for our family. My dog’s CGC instructor also sent encouraging words to me. I am definately going to fight harder to get Mercy trained as she ought to be to help others including my son.
