Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior.

Ok so after two opinions Camerons tonsils are getting removed and he is having tubes put in his ears. I am TERRIFIED. Ever since they told me, I have been thinking this is my last week with him and something will happen to him when he goes into surgery. Mostly because the surgery scheduler asked me"So he is ok going under anesthesia with autism right?" /?!?@?@!#? How the heck am I supposed to know? Isnt that your job? I am so scared now. I guess the doctors wouldnt recommend it if they thought something would happen to him but how many people dont wake up from a surgery? A very small percentage Im sure But being alone to worry and fret and not have anyone to calm me down, Im very scared and worried.
Help!!

Start looking for bed-bound stimmy toys to sooth him.
Good Luck. Ill keep you both in my prayers.
On another note, I know I was an extremely sick child before they removed my tonsils and adnoid. Once they removed them, I was never sick. I never played outside before the surgery. Afterwards, you never caught me indoors. You could see a difference in my coloring and my hair texture and shininess. It truly was amazing. My mother said it was the best thing that happened to me as a child. I seemed to blossom and wasn't as introverted. I would really look on the positive side of this!! No matter what, it will certainly work in his best interests.
