A new understanding

Hey everyone my name is Jackie i am 22 and i am the mother of two amazing little girls. Chloie is almost 4 and Makennley is 2 months old. Both little girls different in so many ways. I gave birth to Chloie on feb 20th 2011 and she was my blessing from god... After 8 miscarriages and finding out her pregnancy was a twin pregnancy and loosing her twin at 10 weeks i cherished every day that little girl was inside me growing strong and healthy... Chloie Noelle Jackson was born at 38 weeks and was 5 pounds 13 oz and 19.5 in long... she was pure perfection... i was 18 years old and knew being a single teen parent was going to be hard.. but i had no idea what i was truly in for. As chloie grew older their was no doubt she was the smartest little girl i knew...but something just was not right... She would not talk and was not walking as soon as she should have been... at about twoshe started saying single words like momma and milk and cup. Just the basic words most one year old knew and at two she was walking good but was VERY clumsy and super hyper... I met my Husband a month after my daughter turned two years old and he fell in love with her. But even right away he noticed she was a bit different... She never talked much and had so much energy that it was unreal she never took a break... After weeks of debate we decided to take her to the doctors and talk about why she was so behind on talking and why she was so out of control.... It has been so hard and difficult. Family members will not even watch her because she is so out of control and i did not know why until a week ago.. One week ago my now almost 4 year old was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism and Aspurgers.. I am so new to this and not sure how to take this all in.
