A different View

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I previously wrote a post but think I somehow deleted it. Anyway, I

have two children a daughter that was diagnosed with SID and APD. I

think she was not completely diagnosed or the wrong diagnosis. I am

really not sure and something I will have to look into, but after

watching a tape on Autism this past weekend, I am certain she is on

the spectrum. My son was dianosed with PDD, Tourette Syndrom and

severe dyslexia. There is huge simularities in both my children and

that is why I think my daughter may have not been diagnosed right.

I home-educate both my children and saw where others mention it and

about the socilization argument. I have blogged about this several

times. Socilization skills start at home and continue through. I have

gotten so many compliments on how well-behaved my children are and

such. More on that later with home-schooling.

I am just curious of others experiences with autism in their children

and what I should look for and consider with my daughter on the

spectrum.

I had heard that girls aren't diagnosed as frequently so I wonder if

my daughter was over-looked. Even after she was nearly 4.5yrs old and

not really talking, they called it " speech delay " my heart felt it

was way more than that. Now at almost 10.5yrs old she still has

difficult time expressing herself , or having what they call "

structive speech " She hears things differently which they said is why

she was dianogsed with APD ( Auditory Processing Disorder) but I know

there is more to this. I look forward to hearing from you all and

reading what you have to say.

Thank you for your time and welcoming me to this group!

Sincerely

Shay
