I have had similar thoughts as a parent of a child with autism and other needs - we often self isolate. Of course, not in the way we are forced to today, but skipping the large party with lots of commotion and noise; not going to fireworks on 4th of July; Missing the wedding because we don't have a [qualified] sitter - the list goes on and on. For us, isolation has been hard, but perhaps not as hard as others who are used to being much more social. I have actively reached out to my social butterfly friends - and tried to support them through this - hoping (as you noted so eloquently) that perhaps there will be greater understanding when this is over. Take care.

I really hope that some of the insights you envisioned are indeed part of our reality when this is over... I'm skeptical but hopeful too. And I'm so sorry this has hit in your son's senior year, it's such a difficult time for everyone and particularly for those who were expecting so much in transition and life. Hold up and stay safe, you are also not alone. xoxoRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02745828408243651145noreply@blogger.com
