Guest guest Posted September 10, 1999 Report Share Posted September 10, 1999 My intro., my daughter is 10, and was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism at the age of 3. Her diagnosis was done by A.I. Dupont Inst. in Delaware. Since then, we received a followup diagnosis by KKI, of autism. We are now using a dan dr. in Randallstown, who is helping us more in the last 3 months than both of the major childrens centers put together. I would like to know who Hershey is, just so I am able to stay away from him. I will assume you both live in land, I live in Havre de Grace, between delaware and baltimore. I have a question of you mom's out there, when your girls got older, 10 or so, did you see behavior changes, like wanting to stay in their room, or being more defiant, we are seeing this and I am wondering if it is the hormones acting out, or something else that may be happening. Allie already shows alot of signs of puberty, pubic hair, breast buds that have started to fill out, underarm hair, I thought she was too young for all of this, but others are telling me no, alot of autistic girls are maturing early. gotta go, cindi agnes cushing wrote: > > > > Beverly,PDD is part of the Autistic Spectrum Disorder.I have yet to see > a girl labeled as autistic.This makes me crazy,its as if giving them a > diffrent label changes something.,Agnes > > Beverly Weakley wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi , > > My daughter was first diagnosed with retardation.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 1999 Report Share Posted September 10, 1999 Hi Cindi, My daughter is 11 and she just got her period a few weeks ago. She entered puberty probably about 9 with breast buds, no underarm hair yet. Her period lasted 11 days ! But we made it through it pretty well. I know what you mean about staying in the room more. likes to escape to her room after school to listen to her headphones. I think she gets so stimulated during the day she just wants some peace and quiete......heck wish I could do the same.....some days I'd like to stay in my room all day and not talk to anyone...........oh well.... has always had behavior problems.........major.........but since about 9 she is getting much better, learning to control herself. We are currently working on her stims as now I think she can understand it's not appropiate behavior and try to stop them. I think we have corresponded before on some other lists. We call ' Allie ' sometimes also......... Take care, LIZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
