Hello,
I am a stay at home mom to 4 wonderful children. i would not trade the time i get to spend with them for anything. The kids are growing up so fast it is unreal. My oldest is in second grade this year, my little me...lol..(she looks just like me) is in kindergarten, and then my baby girl was 4 in November, and my baby boy was 3 in December...He is the reason for joining this site.He is in the process of being evaluated for Autism.So far all they will tell me is that he has developmental delays, Gross motor delays, mixed receptive/expressive language disorder, sensory issues,low muscle tone...and then they say.."Early signs of Aspergers" or "Possible PDD-NOS" , we take him back again this month..i am hoping to hear something other than bring him back in 3 months..:) and his regular ped, said he thinks hi is on the higher end of the spectrum. and his speech therapist said she thinks he might have apraxia...so there you have it.....my introduction....:)...i am hoping to make some friends who understand without a word....:)

Daniel used to line things up, too! I'm sure a lot of parents here can say that about their kids. Good luck with the testing, like Shannon says, it can be exhausting. Please remember to take care of yourself while you're caring for everyone else.

Good advice--keep loving and believing in the little boy that is still your Silas. Those all day evals are exhausting. Take some snacks, something to read or listen to...DVDs etc...there can be a lot of downtime between appointments.

He is wonderful. We've had the big evals and remember that no matter what they say, he's still Silas and he's still amazing. Horses!! he and my daughter would get along well....
