Guest guest Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Ok: Well, I am the sternest voice of opposition to parents who chose denial instead of pro-active, hands-on intervention for their kids. Yes you are in denial...flat simply...accept that you are in denial so you can stop looking for what you wish to hear. This condition is also about you. If your child was diagnosed with a mild form of autism then he hast it...and your entire family too. Denying the opportunity of providing cerebral and behavioral re-training to your child in unjustifiable. ... You are the communicating medium of your child, open all your senses so you can absorb the great help you can get from professionals and the broad supporting community. Yes, including brilliant Dr. Golberg. What right do I have to talk to you like this?...Well for starters I am 50, the father of a set of identical twin boys who were not diagnosed with mild autism until the end of their THIRD GRADEI! They were born in 1990. No autism spectrum was devised yet. They are 19 now and headed to their freshman year in college... So no glorified " Early Intervention " Which by the way is the ONLY way to properly retrain a child diagnosed within the autism spectrum Everyone was baffled because though not retarded and not completely dysfunctional, my children exhibited EXACTLY the same behavior yours, except multiply all you go through X 2... They developed normally until 1 and a half years, then they started replacing vocabulary, meaning they did not retain the previous learned words, but replaced them with a new set. We the parents, pre-school teachers, our extended family, school and private psychologists were all at odds. Yes, i cried when I read Dr. Goldberg's site, I cried when I went to see a sleep disorder specialist, and cried every time I heard exactly what I wanted to hear. But nothing new or different happened with my children. They got older and their brain matured little by little. They exhibited no fear to anything or truly spoke understandably, or looked into our eyes until they became 9. Tantrums they never had...and will never do. I am one of those annoyingly joking fathers. So the constant stimulatory bombarding to get them from the AUTO mood helped them socially. While my wife dedicated her entire time and energy to put them in all kinds of activities: swimming, dancing, music, art, gymnastics and every other imaginable sport or art form. We became entirely absorbed in stimulating all of their senses, because we noticed a difference in behavior and attention to their surroundings when they became challenged...We maintained them both always busy and trying new things...despite the fact that we have both always worked and have multiple community involvement activities. We are not an example, but our kids would have probably been committed to an institution by now if we did not involved ourselves the way we did. Yes, we all practice denial in many forms, and actively look for benign answers in our desperation...My kid's diagnosis came late in their lives. Should they have been diagnosed on time like yours I assure you we would have steadily followed all instructions to a T, and the slight stuttering and word slurring they exhibit today would have been successfully treated. Do not discard getting the indicated therapies now, if truly your child has been misdiagnosed, the occupational, behavioral and speech therapy would not harm him either. But if the diagnose is correct, then these therapies will give you fantastic effects and retrain your child's brain to operate as a that of a neuro-typical child Hoping things get better soon **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I hope you are not referring to my post and assuming that my DH and I are not doing everything we can to help son recover. If so, you can step down off your presumptuous high horse and go back to devoting your energy to your twins and stop insulting my family.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Our kids are so different with different problems...hence " spectrum " is the name of this disorder. Not all situations are created equal.
