ive wondered for a while but..if he doesnt, i would feel like a fool for even entertaining the idea, but he fits it so perfectly..even his facial features fit it and with the hearing loss/delays combination, it just makes sense.

MedLink this even says that having a vaulted palate is also another symptom..and he has one that is very vaulted..and strange looking. it looks like an inverted v on the roof of his mouth.

and that is why i am not completely on board with the autism part of her diagnosis..this boy loves people..LOVES people. and he will make eye contact. if she didnt have a huge shelf of autism books for sale, i might be a tiny bit more able to believe that she didnt jump straight to autism but...

i dont think its anything rare, but yeah i am asking for any genetic testing they can do, to be done. of course, he is back to NOT eating again..hes ok though, for now. the teachable thing is interesting..she said that when she first started her practice, they had 3 classifications: educable...

she was just trying to be nice! :naughty:

my oldest..he begged me to enroll him in wrestling at school (this was when he first started high school) because he thought it was some sort of cage fighting mad max whatever..when he saw the pictures of the guys with their crotches in each others faces, he begged me again..to get him the hell...

i am having trouble with my little guys glasses and hearing aids..his are thick plastic frames and they seem to dislodge the hearing aids..its a pain in the ass so we are asking for those metal frames that loop under the ears..maybe those will work.

sounds like my kids..we are the most non sports family ever, which doesnt make my kids very popular in this hick, football obsessed little town.

yeah! that is exactly what it is..its just damn peculiar..its like his whole not grabbing stuff, but patting at it..who knows? i really think it COULD be genetic, but then i also think it is just "one of those things", which sucks because i like knowing the reason behind things. but yeah, he...

it looks like that, but what hes REALLY doing is his very odd, repetitive head cocking thing, followed by a head tap. why? not sure! but it is very interesting to see. he also will follow up with his hand held over his eyes, as if he is shielding them from the sun. that picture, and the other...

you would have to see him in person..its very obvious. hes still cute though!!!

oh i agree with that! unfortunately, his issues arent really a matter of comparing him with other kids because he is unlike ANY child i have ever seen. i dont think he is necessarily unique, but its fairly obvious we arent dealing with a mild falling behind of some milestones. honestly, i am...

well, we shall see..i am not trying to be a bit negative, but as the months go by, he gets further and further behind..and that is fine! he is where he is able to be, and he is perfectly happy..she agreed with our stance of not pushing him too hard and basically just making sure he is happy.

honestly, the autism thing is the least of my concerns. i think that is the secondary issue anyways. we are far more worried about the mental retardation..she said he is "teachable", which is good. we are glad though that we know at least what we can expect, and how to go from here. its really...

well, they said he definitely doesnt have aspergers..they said its completely different. they are mainly concerned with his other issues anyways, this is just a side issue i think.

ohhh ok yes thats it!
