Well in my plain life of taking care of kids, being a wife, helping out at church and helping run a fund-raising walk, I again have forgotten to post. OOPS I am so sorry, because not till this very moment did I realize that it has been a month. I have had so much happen with my life and kids that the time has just flown by.
I just want to say one thing GREAT that has happened in my life with my Aspie. His teacher the other day came to the car and told my husband that my DS has been working very hard on his social skills and has seen great improvement. Because I am a sap, this made me cry. It showed me that he is learning to over come and take control of himself. It goes to show how much early intervention is so important and can truly help. He is 11 and maybe just maybe if we had gotten a diagnoses of his ASD earlier and not at the age of 7 (end of 1st grade) that this moment would have come sooner. Guess late is better than never.
So parents, if you think something is going on with your child, and think you need help, keep pushing your doctor. If they will not help you then switch doctors and find an advocate to help you. You know your child, and getting early intervention is key.
That is why I am helping out with an Autism walk in April for my area of Texas. People need to know about the resources there are here, and get the help they need fast. http://www.defeatingautismtoday.org/
Any parent with a child of any disability will tell you, you can not do it alone and you don't have to.
