Good luck, Kristi!

And maybe autism. And maybe not. I'm wondering if we should take him to a neuro-psych mostly to see if additional therapy would be helpful to him. It's so hard to know.

Finding the right Dr is so crucial, and making sure that person is truly listening to you. Your persistance paid off, and you are right he is who is supposed to be, and so are you! Thank you so much for sharing this story, and I will share it too!Jenhttp://breaktheparentingmold.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904957182059402412.post-35392829377059140652013-03-14T01:26:28.171-03:002013-03-14T01:26:28.171-03:00You WERE exactly the parents your boy needed.

You kept on until you found solutions and continue to do so...We do the best with what we have. Informing yourself and making decisions on what you know and learn is the BEST thing anyone can do for a child! I feel for you that it had to be such a struggle, but Elliot is blessed to have you (and Mr. Level-Headed) in his corner! Thank you for sharing your story. Let this be a lesson to all parents who are struggling.

We are not super women, and having a child with special needs and issues sometimes takes a village. I often wonder if having a child with Down syndrome (my son is 8 with DS) is easier because people can see it right away.Lisa Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14250738745005286723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904957182059402412.post-7974264717974016322013-03-11T11:57:38.347-03:002013-03-11T11:57:38.347-03:00I feel like I could have written this about my dau...I feel like I could have written this about my daughter. We could never figure out what was going on with her and then at ten years of age we finally found someone who would listen and she was diagnosed with aspergers. The diagnosis was everything! It wasn't labeling her, it was helping her finally become more at peace with herself. Once we knew what was 'wrong', everything became right and she is now flourishing at 14. Best of luck to you and your family!
