[QUOTE="maxeygirls, post: 370288, member: 8869"] Marg, Thanks for the info. Everyone who has seen difficult child thus far seems to believe most of her speech issues come from a series of ear infections she had for 8 months as well as the stress she's had and they are convinced that she doesn't fall on any spectrum of Autism. Trust me, it's been looked into big time. That poor child has dealt with so much in under 4 years of her life and although I know there is something actually wrong, I'm still convinced the stress brought the symptoms out stronger and sooner than if she'd had a semi normal start at life. She already has her own computer at my parents house with several learning games, and it'll be moving to our house as soon as we have the room. Thankfully ADHD is something I'm very familiar with how to deal with and the ODD and sensory issues explain a lot. In a way, it's a blessing to have a husband who is still showing HUGE signs of ADHD because it seems to have clicked a light on in his brain and he's dealing with her better. I just hope it lasts. Currently our goal is still to transfer from national guard status to active duty, finally get difficult child enrolled in the military's exceptional family member program(which includes respite care up to 40 hours a month), get a place where she has her own room and get her a yard to get some energy out... oh and a dog. difficult child is dying for a dog. Somehow 4 cats aren't enough, she has to have a dog. God help me, I think she's her mother's child... I had 37 animals when I was 16. Last night I felt pretty overwhelmed, today I'm feeling like it's sinking in and I can do this. Now all I can do is wait for her pediatrician to call with info on medications, the psychologist was calling her as we were on our way out the door. [/QUOTE]
