Oh god, this is my youngest child. I am in tears with the realisation that there is a term for what she is going through. I feel so much guilt around this issue. I don't know how to "fix" it. Our eldest was diagnosed as Autistic at 9 but she was always "more" and our youngest, who is 14 now, has always been a lot more independent and able to be on her own and be happy but now she has really pulled away from us and craves the company of her friends. I know she feels like a "glass child" and I wish I could change that.
Its perfect!
Love this! We got married 17 years ago (I was also 16 weeks pregnant!). No bridesmaids, no groomsmen, no bridal table, no bouquet throwing, no garter throwing, just us, our friends and family and we had to BEST day. You do you. It will be an amazing day.
I'm sorry but as the mother of 2 neurodiverse kids these options just wouldn't fly in my house!!! Its a lovely idea but completely unrealistic and not for everyone I'm afraid. But hats off to you and your kids!
