I don't think we have a DS kid on this site who developed autism at such a late age. Most of our kids showed signs at very young ages but were diagnosed later on in years because of not knowing about the dual diagnosis....DS and autism. What sort of life threatening disease does have? Does she have celiac disease or allergies to foods? My son is lactose intolerant with GERD...gastric esophageal reflux disease. Does she speak well enough to tell you where she hurts? Has she had a complete physical to r/o thyroid issues, menstrual issues, gastric problems or hip dysplasia? You said she stopped doing Special Olympics. My son had to have hip surgery for hip dysplasia....something that is common is DS kids because of their lack of muscle tone. Just some ideas for you. Chime in any time. By the way....we visited Alaska 3 years ago. Beautiful area!!! Take care, Everyone. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
