Thanks for inquiring! I got my son a provisional diagnosis at age two and he was able to get ABA therapy covered by insurance. After a year of treatment he fell off the spectrum and he is doing great! A typical four and a half year old now. Not every case will turn out like this and there may be quirks over time but I feel that therapy is priceless and helped chang the course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-really-appreciate-this-blog-post-on-looking-into-autism-in-your-child#post-2712144 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 15:02:08 +0000 arosebyany 2712144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: I know this is old, but it made me cry. I was wondering if you have any updates about your DS </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-really-appreciate-this-blog-post-on-looking-into-autism-in-your-child#post-1805838 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 11:37:15 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1805838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still don't have any formal diagnosis for my son but I wish I read this last year when I was beginning to wonder about certain subtle behaviors in my son. I relate to the feeling that he meets some criteria but in so many areas he doesn't at all. I relate to the grieving period and then the period where you understand that this is who your child is and that is wonderful and special. I love how she ends it with so much hope and encouragement. I hope this helps someone who might share concerns or anyone who doesn't understand that a child can be autistic and still be funny, affectionate, chatty, intelligent, physically advanced and so many of the wonderful qualities our children have. It's a complicated and misunderstood diagnosis. I was as surprised as anyone. </p> <p><a href="http://www.whattoexpect.com/wom/family-life/so-you-re-wondering-if-your-child-might-be-autistic.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.whattoexpect.com/wom/family-life/so-you-re-wondering-if-your-child-might-be-autistic.aspx</a> </p>
