Hello to everyone:):)

[Guest guest]

I am still getting used to the forum and the way to read the messages

so i really hope i dont forget to respond to anyone. so i will put to

everyone for right now lol!!!

already you guys have shared with me stuff i relate to. on one post i

read where one little boys " licking " has decreased which is great!!!

unfortunately my son does this ALOT and you have to watch when giving

him a kiss that he doesnt lap ya one across the face like a puppy!!!

lol (sometimes when i am on a better place i turn away and grin a bit

but usually it drives me crazy!!)

someone else mentioned people here having a good sense of humour and

thats great. i think having kids like this we need to keep a

excellent sense of humour and practice it everyday. (this is my

normal motto but this summer i havent followed it as well due to

being overwhelmed by it all but i'll get it back!!) i thought the mel

gibson idea sounded great, hehe:)

have some questions, promise i wont ask millions like i did in my

original post!!!

1. do your kids put stuff in their mouth constantly?

2.will they suddenly " flip out " and you have no idea why, and trying

to find out why makes it worse?

3. agression and angry acting out, how common is this?

4. speech....where are you kids on the speech area? my inital denail

of this dx was due to the fact they said many times speech is lacking

or non existant....and fortunately for my son he has made many

strides in this areas and does continue to show improvement. he does

some of that echolalia?? what about your kids?

(i dont think i am in denail anymore...at least not in this momment

lol)

a couple of people told me i was not a BAD mom. thanl you for saying

that. i hear it from my hubby and some family but its still like this

little thing in the back of you mind that you messed up somehow. i

need to tell myself that i am doing a good job and it helps to hear

it.

i will respond to indiviual posts as soon as i get used to the format

and speed of this board:)

well i better go and get some housework done. this weekend i am going

away wioth just hubby (NEED A BREAK) so i might be in if we take the

lap top but if not i wanted to let people know in case i'm not here

for a couple days. thanks again and i am soo glad to be here:):)
