"My Alternate Universe: Anxiety, Autism, and Adventure in a Parallel Reality


Somewhere out there, on some other timeline, in some other plane of existence, another version of me is living the life I had planned. I picture her to be a peacefully content, self-assured supermom and a bit of a smug know-it-all 8212 very likely an insufferable pain in the ass. I 8217 ll try not to judge her, though, because bless her heart, she means well and doesn 8217 t know any better.Jennifer Rosado approached childbirth the careful way she approached most things in life: with extensive research and thorough planning and preparation. But her expectations of a perfect labor, delivery, and bonding experience with her newborn son immediately collided with reality, and from that point forward her life was never the same. With disarming candor, Rosado tells the story of her son 8217 s challenging childhood years, her own need for control and lifelong battles with anxiety, and the ways that her son 8217 s diagnosis of autism changed her perspective and view of the world.Rosado
