I became increasingly aware of how difficult it was for Andrew to adjust to new experiences.  I began to see him show signs of regression, such as with walking, wetting the bed and speaking.  I did not know what caused the change in Andrew's behavior.  At first, I thought he regressed because of his father being deployed overseas during the Persian Gulf War.  Eventually, Andrew became a child I did not know.  He would become mislabeled as being borderline mentally-challenged, to being developmentally-delayed and finally to one having autism.  

My next post begins the nightmare that no parent wants to experience.
