Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Oh, I am with you on the earphones! I was told Jocie was partially deaf until last month when I had an audiologist who could actually work with her. She is no good at keeping all of the apparatus on either. Just sits and screams. I also had one audiologist deem her inconclusive because she would not repeat " Hot dog " . I asked him to change the word, or sing a tune. He refused. Between the fibro and the autism, I feel like a moron magnet for doctors. Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Missy, Brocky has yet to have a hearing test that is not inconclusive. He can't follow directions if he doesn't understand them...why can't they figure this out. I'm sure his hearing is fine though...he can hear the musical opening of Toy Story from the other end of the house so I'm guessing he can hear pretty well...better than I can actually. I'm sorry you haven't been able to find funding for AIT but hopefully she will grow out of it. And yes, you're allowed to hope...it's the only thing that gets us through the day (and week and month and year). Jen Re: OT autism...Jen... Oh, I am with you on the earphones!

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 They would be a deadly pair. LOL Last week Jocie smeared calamine lotion (the pink poision ivy stuff) all over my dressers, desk, mouse, keyboard, bedspread. It was all within 5 minutes when I was calling around for prices to get my car fixed (I had it towed home that AM because the alternator went). When the Hub found her, she looked at him and asked Lotion??? As if to offer him some. She had it from her hands to shoulders, and then, just on her knees. Yesterday she tore up a DRIED floral arrangement completely. Styrofoam instert and all, and threw it all over her bedroom in mouse size peices. Grrrr.

What good doctor insists that a child say the word he wants vs actually trying to find out if the child has hearing problems by substituting words?? I remember reading about that hearing sensitivity working fairly well for a few families in a book or two on autism that I've read. It's a lot of money, especially if your insurance doesn't cover it. I hope you can do it and it helps her! A friend of mine has a little boy with autism, but he's pretty high functioning. She is constantly finding new experiments or messes he's made to see what happens when.... The other week he put baby lotion all over the toilet seat so you could get lotioned at the same time, you sat to pee! She didn't notice until too late that the seat had been... adjusted! Having a two year old brother is just perfect for them to get into mess trouble together! Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
