Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 So glad to hear outgrew this. So there is hope. She also sneaks them and wipes down EVERYTHING in the house with the wipes or a wet wash cloth. Makes me nuts. So we finally bought her some wipes for dusting, prob is she wants to wipe the windows, walls etc with them. She is a smearer too. Loves to get the shampoo bottles or the shaving cream, whatever she can find to smear and wipe. She has sure taught us that silence is NOT golden, it is TROUBLE. LOL.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 no problem, we are a learning group too,lol (lots of laughs) um lets see, ds is down syndrome, pdd is pervasive devleopment disorder --another name or form of autism, add/hd is attention defecit disorder/hyperactivity disorder, and ocd is obsessive complusive disorder. hope this helps, i will try to remember not to abbreviate so much, most of us put in a few of the other diagnosis' that seem to be going along with the down syndrome and autism dual for our children. Some such as nathan have many health issues and a mile long diagnosis, but others are very healthy besides the dual diagnosis. Its a great mix up of a group of all kinds, very helpful and supportive. shawna. a > Hi a, > Thanks for taking the time to speak. I'm sorry I dont > understand the abreviations after d/s.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 ooh neat, finally a local,lol i thnik just about everyone else lives on the coastal spots,lol, im a land lubber, lol, but someday we plan on going ot see the ocean. We love advetureland!!! we usually go every summer but this weekend is our county fair, and have to goto the harness races, and the tractor pulls, rrrrrrruuummmmmm waaahoooo, !!!!!!! the boys love it, soooo noisy and fun,lol, then the figure8 races and this year they even have a monster truck there the boys will be in macinery heaven,lol. We rarely ride any rides at fair they are lame, and exspensive, thats what adventureland is for, we have to practically drag nathan out of that place he loves it soo much and the scary rides too, he will go on any rollercoster etc, I am always afraid he will fall out, ofcoarse i go with him but im always doing the mom thing putting my arm over him,lol. omaho is around 5-6hours away, i think, its where the zoo is right? the official day school starts here is august 21, but i think nathan is to be going back the 6th but arrangements havent really been made and he only goes for 30minutes, a big waste if you ask me, his birthday is on the 8th, we will probably have a party for him that weekend, not sure. We live up in humboldt/dakota city, about 2hours north of des moines. Cant miss it right on hwys 169 and 3. Many semi's come through here on the hwyways. Id love to meet with someone from the group!! isnt much older than christain, he will be 10yrs old, we are trying hard to get him a trampoline for his birthday, everyone pray that everyone will pitchin for the cost, got some family memebers that will so far. Just let me know, I wish i could meet you at adventureland but we usually go on a weekday, short lines,lol. shawna >From: " Jackie Cramer " <jackieacramer@...> >Reply- > >Subject: a >Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 03:34:41 +0000 > >Hi a, > >This is Jackie from Omaha, who is Christian's mom (7yo-ds-asd).

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2001 Report Share Posted August 11, 2001 whew!! heheeh, we have a good supply of carpet shampoo here too,lol. Im soo glad he finally went. Does steven understtand verbal language spoken to him? If he does, be sure to tell him he needs to potty in the toilet not his pants maybe even make a little story book about it, this helped nathan remendously, he even knows and will even sayit if i ask him if has an accident, " natan poopoo/potty toilet " he says quickly really input this idea, and nathan has his own special accident drawer in the bathroom, it has a spare undies, pants, shirt and socks and a couple washcloths too, he over the many times over the years knows its not nice beind stinky and wet, and has to wash up and change clothes with just supervision to make sure he gets clean, its way easier to use the toilet than have to wash and change clothes each time. Nowadays with him taking himself to bathroom, he doesnt always tell us he had an accident until after he has changed, he will say " see " showing us he is all clean and that he did use the toilet too. shawna. a Whoa ! Ok , A ok at this end , finally urinated, on the floor , sitting on plastic . I'm not worry anymore , but I know, I will be washing more than ever . I also know I better go to the store to purchase more rug shampoo . Oops , timer went on , g2g. Take care . Irma , 13,DS/ASD . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 shawna, Was a scratcher? Angel scratches all the time, her bum and her legs. She seems to always have a hand in the back of her pants. She has always done this, panties, pull up or naked. Just a scratcher. It's gross when she has had a bm and then scratches. Of course her hands are in her mouth if they aren't in her pants! Yup, gross! Doesn't phase her a bit. But, if she gets a smell of her bm while I am changing it, or if she lands one in the toilet, she is gagging and almost puking over the smell of it. Funny kid. Makes me laugh so much.

He has occasionally in the past finger painted and squished bms with hands, but hopefuly he has outgrown that, very gross, ive told him its gross, ewww yucky, etc and he seemed to catch on, will ocasionally even ask if something is " yuckie? " . shawna. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 oh its school conferences, nathan is doing great!! wahoooo! but i want to tweak a few things, and they are fine with this, whew!!, and nicholas, im almost in tears not doing well at all, over half of his reprt card had " N's " . I got them to try another eval, i will not let himslip through the crack darn it, I dont care if he gets his answers right, he cant read hardly at all, and is in second grade, the average for the second graders is 63 of what im not sure, and nic got a 26, OUCH! He does start seeing a counselor this coming tuesday, im hoping this will help. We are at our wits end trying to encourage nic and teach him. Have read to him and nahtan since toddlers, and play games all the usual parenting stuff, we and the school know nic is smart, its just a different level, its very weird, id have to say he is beyond in ways of thinking compared to his peers but yet cant get the simplest of things, and need to fill in the gaps for him. shawna. a HI a , Yes , long time no hear from you . Glad to read your doing well . Yes, I understand what you mean and time surely flies . Hope is feeling better . What type of conferences are you attending ? Just being nosey , hee hee .

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Wow ! a , Great news on . Luck with , keep us posted on him . I hope the couselor can help . Have you had his ears and eyes checked ? I know you did with . Just wondering if auditory problems or needed glassed ? Just to rule out . I heard a genetic study going on with kids with autism have siblings that are Nuero-typical are gifted & talented or other disability are being noticed more than ever . Almost sounds like my son Rick when he was Nic's age with what you've mentioned . He needed challenges to learn . When he was in second grade sure enough he was tested and yep , he's GT (gifted & talented) . Say, if I remember correctly wasn't it Margaret who also has a son that is also GT ? Anyways just wanted to give you some HOPE because I know you'll find some answers for him .

He allready says he hates his life, i dont know what to do with him, i get in tears trying to cope with him, he doesnt misbehave really, just wont loosen up, such a perfectionist, and worrier, i supose some is genetic, we can see some in our parents, but not to this degree, the rest i often think some comes from having nathan for a brother, he worries about him frequently. The doc did mention with nathan having autism, ocd etc, nicholas maybe showing some signs of this, not to rule it out, even though he is very healthy and functions mostly on average level, social etc. just request prayers for him shawna. Re: a Wow ! a , Great news on . Luck with , keep us posted on him . I hope the couselor can help . Have you had his ears and eyes checked ? I know you did with . Just wondering if auditory problems or needed glassed ? Just to rule out . I heard a genetic study going on with kids with autism have siblings that are Nuero-typical are gifted & talented or other disability are being noticed more than ever . Almost sounds like my son Rick when he was Nic's age with what you've mentioned . He needed challenges to learn . When he was in second grade sure enough he was tested and yep , he's GT (gifted & talented) . Say, if I remember correctly wasn't it Margaret who also has a son that is also GT ? Anyways just wanted to give you some HOPE because I know you'll find some answers for him . Irma, 13,DS/ASD. > oh its school conferences, nathan is doing great!! wahoooo! but i want to tweak a few things, and they are fine with this, whew!!, and nicholas, im almost in tears not doing well at all, over half of his reprt card had " N's " . I got them to try another eval, i will not let himslip through the crack darn it, I dont care if he gets his answers right, he cant read hardly at all, and is in second grade, the average for the second graders is 63 of what im not sure, and nic got a 26, OUCH! He does start seeing a counselor this coming tuesday, im hoping this will help. We are at our wits end trying to encourage nic and teach him. Have read to him and nahtan since toddlers, and play games all the usual parenting stuff, we and the school know nic is smart, its just a different level, its very weird, id have to say he is beyond in ways of thinking compared to his peers but yet cant get the simplest of things, and need to fill in the gaps for him. shawna.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2001 Report Share Posted December 3, 2001 This is good news on , yes, prayers for next week and his evaluation . is still doing fine , has been interacting with his classmates , which is nice to see . I remember when he use to say " Leave me alone " or " go away " , oh and his famous word " NO " . Thank you so much on the recommendation or suggestions of the Miralax , I've noticed some improvement in his skin , which helps cleanse his system . Because he would have breakouts with acne on his back . When I contacted his Ped. doc , this was all new to him , he had to research on the internet , of course I did my research . His doc just gets surprised when I request or just ask something that pertains to something I would like more info on . I remembered the first day I took to his office , I did not want to mention the word down syndrome because many other docs had not realized that was Downs . He had pass the test . Then the beginning of this year I had to convince him that also had the autistic spectrum disorder . Now he tells me , " I told you he also has autism " . I just smile at him , he is a good doc , who treats as a person . Love the challenge . Luck next week .

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 Hey a, Thanks for the advice. I wish I could guarantee the time and patience from the staff, but I don't know. For some reason I don't think everyone takes there job as seriously as I do (ha). I guess I just have to keep on them. I may use your timer idea though. I think that is a good idea and may work with this person. You all are such a big help I think I should be paying you (Ha). Thanks for the advice.
