Posted Aug 29th, 2007 at 9:29PM I feel the exact same way! My son is four and I feel we are at the stage where his brain is pliable, but I feel like I am not doing enough! Where do I go? Who do I talk to? What therapy is legitimate? It is a very lonely place to be. Watching your child struggle and not knowing exactly what to do. I understand your pain! | |
Posted Aug 30th, 2007 at 1:52PM Have you looked into getting your child in to be tested for Occupational Therapy. I work with many children with autism. We work in large part on self care and social skills, and sensory intergrations but we also work on secondary difficulties with fine motor skills and attention and so on. It would have been better if he had begun to recieve OT at a younger age but if you get him in soon there still may be help available. This should be done outpatient, not inpatient, at a pediatric clinic that provides these sort of services. You may need to get a primary physician to write a prescription for this but find and call a clinic first and find out what services they can provide your son. | |
Posted Sep 19th, 2007 at 11:04AM If you need some one to talk to look me up. I have a 15 year old daugher who has a mild form of autism. She is non-verbal. She understands what ia am saying and will follow my instruction. I know that each child with autism is different but may be i can help answer your questions.......Most of the parent so far i have meet on The Experince Project have kids age 3 to 12 . | |
Posted Apr 6th, 2008 at 7:12PM I want to thank you for sharing this and I can certainly understand your feelings of self-doubt. I too wonder if i have done enough? My son turned 2 today and his 2 yr well check is this week. We have a list a mile long of things to ask the dr. I didn't know what PDD was so I looked it up on Wikipedia. Whereas, this doesn't fit my son, I did find a related site on Sensory Integration Dysfunction...and, after reading about Hypo sensitivities, I was MOVED...I had my husband come and read it, too. Too early to know, but it sounds eerily like my son and his tendencies of seeking out kinetic (touch) and visual stimulation. Had it not been for your posting, I don't know how I would've found this information or even begin to know what to look up, to begin my own research, to begin to find some answers. Thank you. | |
