Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I have been lurking around in this group for a little under a month and I finally decided to jump in the conversation. I have been some what overwealmed by the information I have got from simply reading your posts. They are so much mor informative than any book, magazine or " medical professional " I have spoken to. My Son is 4 years and was diagonsed in January of this year. He is in a really good special day calss and is improving in communication and social behaviors every day. He is such a special boy and he came into our famalies lives at the best time as we are able to give him the attention he needs w/o my older boys feelinf left out (they are 16 and 14). The one thing that I havent heard anyone speak about in the short time I have been her is excessive energy. My Son is 4 feet tall (give or take a n inch) and 54 lbs. He never walks. He runs and bounces all day. Very early, before I had any idea he was AS, I got him on a nap schedule which is the only reason I have any hair left. Out side of the 2 hours he naps, he is on super mode. It is hard to take him out because he is so fast. He obsesses over video games and once ran acros the street, across 4 lanes of traffic, to get to Electronics Botique. But for the grace of God, ya know. Can any of you OG AS Parents give me any hope or advice. Nichole in Califonia P.S. My Son, Chauncey, got his SSI on the first try. I dotted all my " I " before I applied and stayed on point with everything that the represenative requested. His official diag. is ASD. They also had their Dr. evaluate him. His process lasted 3 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
