Hello, dear brides, today I will continue to tell you a little more about the journey that Astrid and I are taking, guided by our Beloved.
As I told you in my previous PR, knowing that Astrid has ASD, level 1, ended up becoming a wonderful blessing from the Lord in our lives. I remember when Astrid was diagnosed, the doctor told me that it would be interesting for me to also do the tests and evaluations because it is not at all uncommon for children with ASD to have parents, especially mothers, who are also autistic. I remember that at the time, I didn't pay much attention, I even thought: "imagine, of course not". And time passed, more specifically, three years since Astrid's diagnosis.
So, in the middle of last year, my Beloved began to put it in my heart that I should do the tests and evaluations because, since He knows me better than I know myself, I had been feeling uncomfortable in some situations, apparently without reason, such as feeling extremely exhausted, to the point of feeling sick, when I had to go to places (usually with lots of people and noise) that I really didn't want to. But, I kept putting it off, ignoring His warning, for which, my Beautiful Prince, I ask forgiveness for my disobedience.
Of course, everything happens in His time and, at the beginning of this year, He led me to look for a clinic where autism evaluations were performed. I made an appointment with the doctor, told him about Astrid, and did several evaluations, for weeks, until the final report came out. And, my dears, even before the doctor talked to me about the report, I already knew the result, because my Husband had already revealed to me that I, like our sweet Astrid, also have level 1 autism.
I confess that this diagnosis is still something very new to me, I found out last month, but I can't deny that I'm very anxious and, why not say, excited to know what He has in store for us, the apple of His eye, on this journey with Him, with both Astrid and I being, as the world says, “neurodivergent” but He affirms that the truth is that we are uniquely created by Him.
Soon, I will share more about how this journey of a mother and her daughter, both autistic, and both embraced by our Beloved, is going.
Much love to all of you!
