Younger Brother, Matthew
Matthew has now been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as well, but without the ADHA attatched, instead his initials are ODD, which we already kinda knew, from dealing with Aaron. Luckily for our wallets, Matthew will not be placed on any meds, at least not at this time; however, Matthew will be intensely "therapatized", and prayerfully so, he, too, will develop into a well-rounded young man...with a quick temper. God can take care of that too! This diagnosis was a bit harder on us I believe because I know what all we deal with on a day-by-day basis with Aaron, and now I have a double portion of Asperger's. You know I never really thought of asking God "why me?" until a couple of Sundays ago. A lady in our church has a son (now grown) who was born, basically profoundly deaf, but he uses hearing aids & reads lips. She asked me if I ever wondered "why God chose us to go through this". Well, to be honest, I don't have enough time or energy left over to ponder things such as these, especially when it won't change anything, but now, I am beginning to wonder that age-old question, "Why me, Lord?". I do know that it is scripturally sound to question God, but not okay to infuse anger His way, so I'll keep you posted about my ponderings, until then...just pray for us & our daily battles of the front lines of the Asperger's War.
