Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hello everyone!!! My name is Jill and I have a 3 year old son named Lucas who was just diagnosed with mixed-expressive-receptive speech disorder and articulation disorder. I have been reading your chats and I am interested in the Omega stuff. I went out and bought Omega 3 (it says it contains EFA and EPA) and I was wondering how much I should give my son. Is this even the stuff that I read about??? He is a big boy who weighs in at 50 pounds. I feel that my son is sooo far behind adn he will never catch up. I feel that he does not understand some of the things that I tell him. He avoids eye contact at times and I think it is because he feels bad that he can't talk and can't understand language. He usually can not answere questions? He was tested for autism but thankfully was not diagnosed with that. He is close to the autistic spectrum but does not qualify mainly because he has so many friends and loves playing with them. He is a shy boy at first but then he warms up. I think he would be even more confident if he could talk. Can any mone help me??? Does anyone have a similar situation to mine?? I am scared of what the future may hold. I have wanted to be amother my entire life and now I am and I feel so helpless. I am not sure if the insurance will pay for speech therapy. We have United Health - choice.
