Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 Deb, The party sounds wonderful, but when I go down to limbo I'll probably need the rest of the girls to get me back up! <G> Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2001 Report Share Posted October 13, 2001 It may have been the big NIH epidemiological study that was conducted in Wichita Kansas. They interviewed 50,000 people. I am not sure but the may have been a similar study in Chicago. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 >>>My son has good days, but at this point I would say he's on the low-functioning side. <<< What is considered " low functioning? " Are there " definitions somewhere out there? IS there an age at which you would determine the functioning level? My son is onyl 3 (will be 4 in August) and I feel like it's still a little to young to say what his functioning level is? Or is it just in comparision to what he should be doing at this age?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Yes, usually the benchmarks for development of neurotypical children are used to categorize our children. The more your child can do that is comparable to a neurotypical child of equal age means the higher functioning they are considered. It really is quite a puzzle to figure out exactly where on the spectrum your child falls. I think that is why it takes so long to get a diagnosis at a young age ( the window for the benchmarks is so huge), for many parents and children this is devastating, because often the therapy or help doesn't come until after the child has been officially labeled. There was a table in a book I read that listed several things a child should be doing by 18 mo. and if your child wasn't doing these things, then there was a problem. My son couldn't any of the things on the list. Unfortunately I didn't come across the book until he was 3 1/2, but fortunately I didn't accept what the doctors said when he was 14 mo. and that is when I started researching, and then started intervention. What is considered " low functioning? " Are there " definitions somewhere out there? IS there an age at which you would determine the functioning level? My son is onyl 3 (will be 4 in August) and I feel like it's still a little to young to say what his functioning level is? Or is it just in comparision to what he should be doing at this age?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 I have not been to a talk by her, but I have seen her on television and I would not consider her low functioning. She can talk. She is able to support herself. I suspect that she can use the bathroom. If my son could get there, I would be a happy camper and would not consider him low functioning. Right now he can't do any of those things. -Phyllis Re: Digest Number 2034 if you have ever been to a talk by temple grandin its obvious she is low functioning its a help to understand that > >>>My son has good days, but at this point I would say he's > on the low-functioning side. <<< > > > What is considered " low functioning?

It does not apply to ALL people, but it can give you my opinion and a starting point. http://www.danasview.net/funclevl.htm Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Don't call the MS police! Maybe it is best to privately e-mail in this regard. It is expensive stuff and it seems a shame to waist it if it is really needed by someone. Just hope each person on each end is reliable and honest. But that is what we hope for when ordering LDN from other countries too. Aletha Re: ray & doughi names nancy brothers got ms progressed ......
