Just found the group and looking for advice

[Guest guest]

Hi

My son was just diagnoised 8 weeks ago!! and I am trying to get every bit of

help, support and information I can. He is 6 1/2, caring, loving and so very

smart little boy. BUT some days he is like a stranger with his moods. We have

and IEP for help with reading, math, social skills and writing...and with in 5

days he went up a level in reading and is grasping skills so fast. We also had

him checked for sensory issues and get that report back tomorrow and I hope they

can give us some help on dealing with his moods. I have learned to ask him

" what is it like to by Shane " and he can tell me he is frustrated or mad. I am

trying my best to help him...but now my daughter is acting out seeing that he

doesnt get introuble to for things she thinks are inappropriate (she is 5). We

are waiting to get the paper work for the developmental MD but that is 10 month

wait!! so I am looking for any info to try and keep educating myself.

Sorry to ramble but last night I had to wrap him in a blanket like when he was a

baby and rock him to go to sleep....I knew he was just so over stimulated and

frustrated I wanted to help it go away ....but then I was thinking (may sound

like a crazy lady)....am I going to be doing this when he is like 15!! and my

heart was breaking cause I know he isnt mean, nasty or a bad kid!!! He just

doesnt know how to deal!!

so any advice would be greatly appriciated

thanks

Judy
