RE: Please help-Special Thanks & Update

[Guest guest]

Trust me, I know what it's like having that strike of terror at midnight -- and

typing " girls with Autism " into Google.

At least your ped seems to be on top of it. It also sounds like he's thinking

something totally different from Autism, too.

Even IF it turns out to be Autism, that diagnosis is not the " parade of

horribles " it used to be. There are MANY productive citizens with Autism. I

currently have three students on my caseload with Autism. One of them is tops

in his AP Calculus class; another excels in our engineering and computer

programs; the other is a talented artist. My 6 year old daughter was recently

diagnosed with mild Autism. It was a scary, sinking feeling at first, BUT is

was WONDERING for three years. Hang in there!

Subject: " Please help " -Special Thanks & Update

I would like to extend a very special thank you to

everyone who responded to my late night plea for help.

I really cant thank you enough for being there to

support and comfort me. It makes me appreciate the

importance of being involved, answering each others

emails, just being there to let each other know that

we care. I promise to try to be better about

responding to emails in the future.

We just returned from Kaylee's pediatricians office.

Her doctor said that she was not concerned about

Kaylee's lack of speech but she was concerned about

Kaylee's loss of speech and sounds. She said that we

should look for signs of loss of motor skill as well,

if we notice any further loss she will make

arrangements for testing with a neurologist. I am

supposed to check back in with her in one month.

Thank you again for your help. I'll let you know if

anything new happens.
