Autism

Well where to start.. Zachary has seen a Regional Center Psychiatrist and they stated he is too socialable to be autistic... A Neurologist at CHOC spent 5 minutes with him strapped in his stroller and stated he is not autistic because he is looking at me... The school Psychiatrist hasn't even begun the testing and stated he doesn't think he is autistic because he is too social.

Well I went to an Autism Seminar and the I asked the Autism Specialist. My son is very socialable and loving and has autistic traits. Since he is so socialable is there a chance he could still be autistic. She state YES! Now I am not stating that Zachary is Autistic, but this crap, "He is looking at me or he is too socialable" isn't cutting it. They haven't even performed the proper tests to see if he is autistic, so how do these other people know he isn't????

So we now are going to see a specialist at Casa Colina FINALLY!!!!



We finally got a signing teacher for the home 1 x a week for an hour... YEAH IT ONLY TOOK A YEAR!!! He also needs more Occupation Therapy for FEEDING... That may take another year lol.. Who knows... We will see...
