Hello all,

My name is and I am new to this group. I am originally from Brazil

but I live in America with my husband who is a physician and doesn't speak

portuguese. I am not a professional translator and I don't make a living out

of it. Sometimes I do translate bioethics texts from English to Portuguese

to share with some friends. Also occasionally I have no clue what my husband

is talking about. :-)

I have a question about a term that has bothered me: What would be the

correct translation for STEM CELL from English to Portuguese. I've seen it

translated as " célula estaminal " , " célula-tronco " , " célula-fonte " ,

" célula-mãe " . Is there an " official " translation for this term?

Thanks in advance,

Katzman

Deborah,

At least she knows that she needs to adapt. My dd Kara is also very

smart at hiding the disability...but then melts down and it all comes

out. she memorizes math so they think she understands, she can

memorize great, but if you ask her if she had one apple and someone

gave you two more how many do you have? she has some wierd number she

makes up. THey learn they have to adapt to fit in.

Yes my daughter will repeat sentences and phrases continuously of her

favourite show MrBEAN, and when her older sister sits and tries to watch

some with her, she ends up getting up and leaving and telling her sister

to " shut up, you seen it 50 times before " ........i try to calm them down

and ask hannah to be quiet, we are watching it......but it doesn’t seem

to sink in.......i can see the funny side too though........cherylS

Hi Kitty

Welcome to the list. You have come to a great place to get advice, information

and support. I am sure you will be glad you joined. My name is Tracey and my

youngest daughter, Skylar age 11, was diagnosed autistic at the age of 3. I

have found this group fo be a great help to me and I am sure you will also.

Tracey

My name is Kitty. I have a 4 year daughter Savannah who is autistic.

Her IEP is on the 23rd. She has had all the assesments, we are just

waiting for the IEP. I also have 2 other daughters who are fine,

who is 5, and who is 2. Savannah has seemed to attached

herself to her younger sister . SHe will play with , but

is the one that teaches her. Those two are connected some how.

seems to know what Savannah is thinking. Savannah does have

about a 50 word vocabulary, but most of it is not spontanious. You

have to prompt her to talk. She is repeating alot of what she hears,

but the speech therapist said that although that is good, she wanted

to know what words Savannah says with " meaning " as opposed to just

repeating. I am new at all of this. Today Savannah had another speech

eval, it was the first time my husband was able to go to one of the

appointments, usually he stays home and watches the other two. But

today he was able to get a babysitter so he went with me, It was the

first time he had ever heard a professional refer to her as Autistic.

I know it was hard, but I know it was something he needed to hear. He

had heard it from me, but I know he was thinking (or hoping) it was

just my imagination. Well I have rambled enough. Thank you for

listening. I am hoping to get some advice or at least a place to

share the thoughts of raising my daughter. I don't have any sons. I

decided 3 strikes, I'm out. HA HA. I wouldn't change a thing though.

I love my girls. Thank you

Kitty

Welcome to all of the new members. It's great to hear from you and I'm sure

you'll enjoy this list. My name is Michele and I have two daughters.

was 10yo on Mon. and has Aspergers and will be 7 tomorrow and is

typically developing (whatever that is). We are in the beginnings of

puberty also. You can count on a meltdown the first week of the month,

although she hasn't started her period yet. Hope you find some answers

here, and be sure you will have many sympathetic eyes/ears.

, I don't know if it would help your son, but this is what helped our

daughter sleep.

My kids all listen to K-Love at night when they go to bed; always have. It's a

Christian station, but the DJ's still talk a lot at night, and one therapist we

took her to last week said to stop doing it because it wasn't giving her brain a

chance to rest; who knows what kind of subliminal messages she was getting at

night? So we got some soothing and classical CDs she turns on when she goes to

bed. Then once they're done, just silence; a chance for her brain to regroup

and really rest. She has slept much better which has kept the anxiety at bay.

I hope your DH will see how his acceptance of his OCD is affecting your son; I'm

teaching my daughter this is nothing to be ashamed of; a lot of people have it,

and that there are some good aspects to her's, like her organization skills and

her desire to always get projects done right away.

Debbie

Welcome, .

Oh ho. . Sounds like you are living in my house. lol

I also have a husband with OCD, but who is in denial. This despite a

couple of our son's therapists saying he had it, just by our, and his

own descriptions, during appointments.

I find hubby and son feed off of each other too. One will get off on

some tangent and the other gets sucked in.

It's been better since our son started therapy though. He works hard

to fight his OCD, and recognizes the OCD a lot, for what it is. My

husband on the other hand, is a lot like yours, in that he gets

annoyed with everyone when his OCD isn't getting it's way, and he

blames others.

Long story, but he is now on meds (didn't want to take them, but

accepted it needed to happen for family harmony), and it's helped.

He's a lot less angry anyway.

I wish my husband could be a role model too, but he's not going to be,

until he admits he has OCD and decides to do something about it. I

believe his influence is unintentional too. Until they are ready to

work on the OCD, it will control them. So, we (our son and I) work on

getting our son better. I think the fact that he knows his Dad has

it, but chooses not to work on it, helps him to make choices NOT to do

what his Dad is doing. . If that makes sense. So, Josh is moving

ahead, working hard with his therapist (using CBT and ERP), and making

progress. He is 16 though. It might be a lot harder for a 9 year old

to work that all out in their head.

How do you like your new therapist? Is he/she using CBT and ERP?

So glad you are here, . )

It can be difficult. Since we are only three in the home, I'm the

only one without OCD and it can be a challenge at times.

Learning about OCD and how it works helped a lot. I found the more I

understood OCD, the less I felt they were being difficult on purpose.

I learned that they are being controlled by the OCD, so I changed my

thinking and it helped me to try to stop feeling defensive, at times.

Sometimes it's hard to not still get sucked in though. It often is a

matter of me not wanting to be controlled or manipulated. But, I try

to keep in perspective WHY it's happening.

I find my husband's OCD harder to deal with too. I think it is

because our son is working on his, but my husband is not. It affects

our relationship too. It's hard for it not to. I think sometimes we

expect more out of our spouses than we do our children too. I think

that is where it comes in handy to remember that it's OCD at work, and

try not to take it personally.

My husband going on meds helped tremendously too. He had so much

anger about everything that you constantly had to walk on eggshells

around him before. He would especially butt heads with our son, and I

would try to get between them to stop it. Sometimes, it sadly got

physical. I'm glad those days are over.

Once our son started therapy, things improved even more because our

son was fighting his OCD, rather than going with it, and wanting us to

accommodate it too.

We try to use humor to keep things in perspective too. I've shared in

here before that my husband gets really rigid about the garbage can.

We are not allowed to throw things in the garbage, because his OCD

needs it to be done a certain way. If we do, he will dig it out and

arrange it the way OCD wants it, then place it back in there. For the

most part, we ignore it when he does that. He's in denial that he

even has OCD, so there's no point in trying to get him to work on

using some ERP on it. But, when he really starts getting worked up,

we sometimes tease him by joking that the Garbage Nazi has arrived.

He will usually snap out of it, and laugh with us, seeing the

absurdity of it all. OCD can cause one to become very controllng, as

they struggle to do what OCD wants, so they will feel less anxious.

Sometimes I just walk away and try to find a few minutes to myself, so

it doesn't get to me quite so much too.

It's hard on both sides. I see there struggle at times too. There's

nothing easy about living with OCD. <:o/

Welcome, Jennie.

Can you share something specific she is stuck on? Maybe it is

something someone else has dealt with here and they can share what

worked. )

You say your daughter is recently diagnosed. Is she seeing a

therapist who uses CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) specific to OCD,

and ERP (exposure and response prevention)? That is sooo important.

The correct therapy can make all the difference.

Our son is 16. Has had OCD for as long as I can remember, but we

didn't know what it was for a number of years. We knew he was

anxious, and knew something wasn't right, just didn't know exactly

what was going on.

We tried therapy for years, but wasted a lot of time and money on talk

therapy, and different techniques that aren't proven to work with OCD.

If you've been reading a lot, you probably know and understand what

is suggested. We finally got our son into a specialist this last year

and a half. And he has made progress for the first time in his life.

He is also on meds, because he also deals with " intrusive thought " and

GAD. He needed the meds to get his anxiety under control enough to be

able to do the therapy.

Is your daughter on any meds? Many suggest trying theapy first. And

some are fortunate enough to have that be enough.

Glad you found us and are here, Jennie.

started this week after completing a psychiatric eval. We're hoping meds won't

be needed

and are going to try CBT for awhile before making that call.

She's probably had low lying OCD her whole life, but it recently flared

noticeably at the

beginning of last month just after her grandfather spent 9 days in the hospital

and was

then diagnosed with cancer.

Mainly at home she's struggled with handwashing the most. Though with a stop

watch

she's gotten it down from 45 min. to just over 2 min. There are also issues with

using too

much TP and too many wipes after using the toilet. For awhile she was using too

much

soft soap, but we rationed it and that helped a bit.

Sometimes there's a morning making the bed ritual that's time consuming and if

she gets

interrupted, has to start all over again, etc.

Those are the main things she gets stuck on at home.

Thanks again,

Jennie

Courage is being scared to death and doing the right thing anyway.

Hello all,

My name is Jennie, and I have a 10 year old daughter who was recently diagnosed.

I'm looking for additional resources and support.

Lately I've been scouring a number books, pamphlets and articles looking for

specific

direction on what to do in the middle of a stuck episode and haven't found _any_

specific

direction for parents. Help!

All suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks so much,

Jennie
