Tiff, I was just thinking of this yesterday as someone who is multiply Neurodivergent , disabled by a TBI, and parenting a multiply ND toddler. I just found out people who experience significant TBIs are more likely to develop dementia, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's. My wife was validating but thinks it's difficult to predict as the data is all about Boomers. But I digress.

I also would continue on at that high level of care for my toddler should I need to. I appreciate your writing, especially the relief it brings in having solidarity in these feelings and concerns. Thanks for putting this into words. Sending sensory friendly support.

Oh, so much sympathy here (especially since I still mourn the loss of my own grandmother’s roses). I don’t have kids, so I can only imagine the heartbreak of worrying about who would care for them when I could no longer do it. I sincerely hope your boys find the right someones and you get to see that they are happy and well looked after before you go.
