we took him to the developmental pediatrician this morning, and she has gone over the last 3 months of testing, and her own records, and she has diagnosed him with pervasive developmental disorder, and she says she will change that to "classic conner autism" when hes 3...i have never heard of...

i am SO glad my kids never ask me anything. i do tell them, much to their chagrin, but still. they are very..innocent compared to their peers. mainly because i am strict, i guess. *or maybe they are dorks like their father and i were in high school* i had a friend who was a lesbian and had a...

if my frank was a little girl, i would be buying some of those..adorable!!!!

maybe other people have kids who are more...curious about stuff, but i cant say my kids have ever brought this up before.

oh no, i dont think there is anything wrong with autism either, but i dont want my little one stuck with a label that is completely not him at all. and oh i hear you about the munchhausens by proxy thing..its pretty sad!

exactly! now hes never put stuff in his mouth, but thats part of his whole thing he has..but its definitely not autism. ok, here is what i think is just completely nuts. people who self diagnose their kids as being autistic, even after a doctor tells them their kids is hopelessly normal.

yeah, thats what im telling people..some idiot said he was "stimming" on the carpet..because he was laying there stroking it with his hands..come on, hes also a baby. i mean, yes..if i honestly thought he was autistic, then i wouldnt argue against it so much but hes just too young for that...

hey...there you are! :D

no, i dont think he has anything remotely close to autism. it just seems like EVERYONE is "on the spectrum" these days, and its a slap in the face of those who really are autistic.

oh yes, i am asking for that next week, when we go. if it comes up negative..well, i guess he is who he is. BUT...hes doing something...today, for the first time..he really noticed tv..and he didnt even have his hearing aids on..i was floored. he also has been following his sister around going...

i never thought of using peroxide..that is a very good idea! i had no idea his little ears could be so gross. it took us forever to figure out how to get the earmold off..we didnt know they unscrewed so i took it off the tube..luckily it went back together!

i asked her about buying stuff to clean the ear molds with, because i have been using rubbing alcohol so far, and she didnt try to sell me anything, she just said soap and water, or alcohol is fine. the only thing shes pushing is this nucleus 5 thing..and she had me halfway convinced the other...

www.facebook.com/bilingual.illiterate i am very boringly real. :lol:

it wouldve seemed that way, if i hadnt gotten him to eat several BITES of cookie dough the other day...the little man just doesnt like the way it feels! he loves the taste though. :lol: some days, he will try new stuff..other days? nope. he is almost back to 30 pounds too, so i feel pretty good...

i belong to a group on facebook for parents of kids with certain issues, and there is a woman on there who has had that done to her child 3 times with 3 different drs, because she just wasn't convinced that her child didn't have this mitochondrial disease. i was shocked that it was allowed to be...

:lol: :lol: :lol: i wish i could work this phrase into my everyday conversation somehow.

to see if there are other causes for his delays...like mitochondrial disease, and all kinds of other extremely remote possibilities..seriously, there have been some off the wall suggestions at what could be wrong with my little one but no..i wont be going to these extremes. i mean..will it...

and that is what i was looking for..merely an opinion, nothing more. :giggle:

various blood tests, muscle biopsies..more MRIs... they seem a bit invasive to me, anyways. :hmm:
