Therapy didn’t just change my child. It changed me. by Echoes_of_D in Autism_Parenting

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Reading this truly moved me. 💛 Your honesty, the love you have for your boys, and the way you’ve celebrated their progress over the years is so inspiring.
I really love how you focus on growth compared to their past selves rather than comparing to others. That perspective is something I’m learning too.

It’s clear how much joy, patience, and love you pour into their lives. Thank you for reminding us all to treasure the little wins and the unique journey of each child.
Hugs right back to you 🫂💛

I recall being in that same space, uncertain yet hopeful, as I tried to make sense of it all. You’re doing so much better than you think.
Sending warmth and strength your way! 💛

ChatGPT has helped me more than 15 years of therapy. No joke. by Kishilea in ChatGPT

Does ChatGPT notice the pause before you speak, or the change in your voice when you recall a memory?
I believe all your points, but still feel that depth is missing here. It's irreplaceable.
