[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474855, member: 12886"] Great update. poor baby. I have worked most of my career as an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) with Deaf/HH kids. In the most recent years I finally was able to push the school for the deaf to use more appropriate autism methods along with d/hh school. Both the preschool teacher and I were moms of kids with autism and we kept hearing...oh we dont want to label them too young. WELL, I get the politcal reasons for that (so many d/hh kids in past have been wrongly diagnosed MR/daughter etc....) but IF it IS autism, it is critical to have early intervention. So good for you! Trusting your gut and pushing for the right answers. Heck, so many kids with Aspergers/High functioning Autism/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified are not identified till MUCH older and then suffer from labels that are so wrong like ODD, conduct problems, bad kid, etc. This is EXACTLY what happened with my girlfriends son...he has seizures and no sleep for years and years. (he is 12 now) turns out his oxygen levels were going into the low 70's as soon as he laid down. He just got surgery two weeks ago. He is still on O2 every night. HE normally can't handle wind on his face at all but he is accepting the oxygen thank heaven. Yet to see if the surgery is going to heal and effect a real change. I will let you know what she says as time goes on if you remind me to ask. you are really on a roll. I hope things turn around for you. Just having oxygen and uninterrupted sleep can make a huge difference for him. Congrats and hope things start a huge upswing for you and for difficult child of course. [/QUOTE]
