Hi Staci-I work and live in Maryland. Just outside of DC. I own a provider agenct for disabilities. Advocating services for individuals with disabilities is what I do for a living. Starting with your pediatrician is where you begin. Please know that the earlier he is diagnosed the better!!! I don't know what state you live in but there is a waiting list for about 11 years in my area for children to receive supports for Autism. The have financial supports for children with Autism. The sooner you get him on the lists the better. I did my thesis on the disorder. It is a spectrum, ranging from Aspberger's to Autism. Boys are 3 times more likely to have it than girls. They say it's not hereditary but I have several families that have more than one child-who have it. If your son is interactive and vocal...if he's autistic-it's probably Aspberger's. Not sure how helpful this is. I think it's sad, but often times-once a child is diagnosed-the parents are left not knowing what to do next.
Best of luck to you and your son,
Laura

I would have taken you by the hand
…getting lost in the maze of cornfields
is where we would have ran

Playing barefoot in the rain
Our toes in the mud
Closing our eyes, imagination takes over
In our minds we were walking on a cloud
…or a bed of soft clover

Fishing in the pond
Netting for minnows
We would catch dozens
Before the sun would go down
The skipping of rocks, would be the echoing sound

Riding the horses
Flying in the wind
Holding on tight, scary but fun
Being but children
Happy, without sin

Exploring and learning
The circle of life
The unstoppable trend
Everything was meant to be
Even being your best friend

If you had been my childhood friend,
…my world I would have shared
…and the journey therein

I remember when, at ten
I was fast and strong
Softball, Football, Basketball
I couldn’t be beat

Why is now, at this point in my life
All I touch is defeat

I remember when, at twenty
Life was full of fun
And I had plenty!
Spending my days laughing in the sun

Why is it now, at this point in my life
All I see is darkness

I remember when, at thirty
Life was so busy
Children growing, their love showing
Pride and closeness, ever growing

Why is it now, at this point in my life
All I feel is unknowing

I remember when, at forty
Life was good
Firm on my feet, is where I stood
Plans and dreams playing out

Why is now, at this point in my life
All I taste is not sweet, not now

My senses are numb.
Where did I go…I’m lost to myself….

It's all in the interpretation!!!

I believe you. Very sweet write...

Very interesting write. A question that seems to get asked at times.

SadieLu...when I return a kiss-I'll make sure that I do it like I mean it...love your writes...

thank you for taking the time to comment. I can't tell you how much I am inspired by all of you. Again, thanks so much!

Look at the time you edited your news brief...1:43. Universal number for I=1 love=4 you=3. So love yourself and make your journey to normalcy-whatever that is-one day at a time! You'll get there. It's not about the destination-it's about the journey!

Every now and then live it up...but the person who loves you may want you to have the salad more often than the burger.

It's ok Bastet...I bet when Rowling first started writing Harry Potter-they thought she was unusual too! Look at her now!!! I loved it-lots of passion!!!
