WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD IF YOU WOULD DIE TODAY?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI hope that we outlive Jack-Jack,\u201d I said to my husband one night. (Jack-Jack, our youngest son, is autistic.) Have you had those thoughts before? If you are a special needs parent, maybe you understand that feeling. Maybe you have uttered those words in your head. Most parents wish for their children to outlive them, and that is my hope for my children too. But several years ago I actually said that I wanted to outlive one of my children, and I said it out loud. I can remember everything about that night when I uttered that phrase to my husband.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
