Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Sondra, I was very happy to read your response. I must tell you that, although my wife and I both work in the field of mental health, neither of us recognized my daughter's symptoms until she was nearly 5. Autism was something that we simply had not dealt with. All of that has now changed. I sometimes think I have read every article published on the subject, and still feel that I know very little. On weekends, I have taught martial arts to children for nearly 4 decades, and I don't believe I ran into any autistic children in those years; mostly ADD and ADDH. As I hope all parents do, while I consider my daughter the greatest challenge in my life, I also consider her to be the greatest gift I have ever been entrusted with. sondra wrote: gary happy you have come to join this list is for girls with autism issues and so that makes of you qualified to be here since you are of parent to a dauhgter on the spectrum.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 , Welcome!!! I think it is great that you know so much about your daughter with autism. Knowledge & Education are powerful weapons in helping her. I think it is fantastic that you have a special school just for autism. Are you in the Northeast US? I know they have more schools privately owned than in the south where we are. Are you involved also with a local autism group? We have autism society of America here. Are you doing anything biomedical with her? Lots of questions, I know....but we all are going to ask and look forward to networking with you about your daughter. My daughter is 13years old with autism. She had signs from birth and was diagnosed at 2 years old. We have done a ton of things with her and still are not finished. She continues to make improvements and amazes us each and every day. Glad you made it to our group!! Shanna ('s mom) > > I appreciate your accepting my request to join. I know it should not be, but having an autistic daughter can feel very alone. > > My daughter is seven. When diagnosed, she walked into the Dr.'s office, made no eye contact, did not speak, and sat on the floor to put toys in her own order. Back then, if you touched her or moved the toys, she would scream and become extremely combative. This to the extent that her public school has paid to send her to a private school that specializes in autism. Now instead of being physically dragged out of class 10-12 times a day, she now will leave on her own to regain her control. She is usually verbal, and by the way, the best thing that ever happened in my life. > > Thank you again. > > > --------------------------------- > Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 , Welcome! I am a mom to a 4yo girl with autism who is still pretty nonverbal, and a 10yo son with Asperger's. That's great that you have taught martial arts. We tried many sports with my son, and all attempts ended up in disaster. However, my best friend gave our son karate lessons last Christmas and he loves it. I have since heard that many kids with autism do well with karate or other martial arts. For my son, it helps him with self-control and paying more attention to his body, and it's individual enough so that he doesn't get too freaked out from the other kids. Best wishes, Marie Re: Re: a thank you Sondra, I was very happy to read your response.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 joan, I am from wisconsin. Here, politicians fought a battle against making insurance companies pay for autism needs. Don't know if a bill was passed or not. The school treats a variety of special needs, but as you would suspect, autisn is the most in demand. For over two years, the school system fought us in getting special education for our daughter, saying it keeps children from feeling different to be mainstreemed with others. Yeah, right. She was tormented. If she touched another student to see why her hair was a different texture than hers, she would be physically moved away, which as you can imagine is not a good idea with autistic children. She was physically restrained as many as 10 to 12 times per day, was having nightmares, and having accidents, before we finally put enough pressure on the school to send her to the private school. The only medication that controls her aggression is 300mg of seroquel daily, and her fears are helped by zoloft. I look forward to talking with all of you. I have much to learn. joans_java wrote: , Welcome!!! I think it is great that you know so much about your daughter with autism. Knowledge & Education are powerful weapons in helping her.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Unfortunately, teachers have to keep order and produce results. That allows little time for understanding the special needs of their charges. I don't think we have any choice but to face up to the challenge of our fastest growing group of children. I'm sure you will agree with me that the time of ignoring these beautiful gifts in our life is over, and we demand they be given the respect all humans deserve. Amy Wittman wrote: Welcome ! I was talking to my oldest daughter the other day who is dating a teacher, and I asked her what he thought, or knows about autism. She stated...nothing. I don't blame him at all, but wouldn't you think that the teachers, and those studying to be teachers, should be the first to know EVERYTHING about disabilities and disorders? After all, aren't they the ones who have our children 7 - 8 hours a day for 13 years? I know that the exposure of autism is exploding right now, as it should be Maybe we can encourage the legislatures to incorporate some type of training to our fine teachers, so that they are more equipped to handle our children!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 , You are very very blessed to live in Wisconsin where they really do care about what your insurance covers. Here in Tennessee, we unfortunately have " Frist " who has lobbied for the opposite. He doesn't believe that autism is a result of vaccinations. Really, most parents of special needs kids here are very embarassed by him. As to the medication that you are giving your daughter....I was personally on Seroquel a few years ago for about a year. I was on the smallest dose. I noticed after reading all of the inserts that you get from the pharmacy that there is a chance of becoming diabetic from this medication. I got off of it immediately. I have a 19 year old diabetic. I am not saying for you to get your daughter off of that. I am saying to watch out. I have a friend here whose child is on a very high dose of it and she is showing signs of diabetes right now. Glad you joined us all! If my hubby wasnt so involved with other groups I know he would be on here. Shanna--------<<<<<<<<<<<(first name) > > > > I appreciate your accepting my request to join.
