Re: Confused of Dx so frustrated

It sounds that your son does not have a formal diagnosis, yet you have done 2

years of ABA, is that correct? If he does not have a formal diagnosis, you

should consult with a developmental pediatrician who will stear you to the

proper therapy/intervention based on your son's needs. I would not rely on an

online assessment.

numbers went up more when I had to fill out the speech part of the assessment.

So he is moderate autistic. I should go back an d do it and put a false negative

on there and say his language an d speech is fine and see what the heck dx it

will give. My son is not social but looks at kids and touches them with

interests but has no idea what to do with them. Could this be his lack of

communication or autism? Its so hard to figure this out.

so different.

My son was seen by a developmental pediatrician and gave him a PDD dx. Then 6

months later we went to the autism clinic and had a evaluation by a internist

who just sat there and ask many questions while my son was extremely bored. THe

doctor read what she wrote and came in the room and told us that my son has

autism and he will not have friends , graduate or ever live on his own or get

married , basically wrote him off. The developmental peds clinic didn't treat us

like the autism clinic did. The autism clinic just ask questions never did

anything to interact with my son.

Do you think I need to work with a developmental peds and forget this autism

clinic . They just said if you have problems with behavior call us and we can

prescribe drug for him. I walk out of there and never want to go back.

Can anyone tell me what the book LateTalker is about? Does it talk about

supplements and therapies used? Was it helpful for you to help your child. I

don't have much money so I wanted to get some idea what this book is about. I

hope someone chimes in .

How about looking for a PROMPT certified speech therapist..and the fish oils

definitely helped my daughter within 2 days she was attempting to imitate

and and making new sounds. We did not have luck with the DHA but Omega EFA

3,6,9 and a boost of omega 3 after a few days of the 3,6,9..Good luck and

remember you are your sons best teacher expose him to many situations and

experiences. No one knows what your sons potential really is.

If you visit cherab website she tells you what book is about. I use my book

for reference all the time in dealing w insurance as well as school. I think

it is money very well spent if you are new to apraxia and you child is

relatively young

Have you tried you local library? I've borrowed it a couple times, read it

through a few times and wrote down alot of great info from it without spending

the money for the book at this point. I still may purchase my own copy. But for

now, I simply borrowed it from our library. Just a thought...
