If you are the parent of a child with autism, you know the agonizing pain of the shock, grief, distress, and even the hopelessness that can grip your soul. And in the midst of the dark night, one question burns in our spirits: Where is God? Within that question lies many others we are often left to ponder: What future does our child have? Can God, will God heal them? And what of the families? Will we ever get our lives back? Will our marriage survive? Will we survive?
