Welcome newbies : )

[Guest guest]

Glad y'all came aboard. May this list contribute lots of suggestions

and advise y'all's way as this list always gives excellent

information of trials which has helped my son. The most important

part of all is that everyone here understands and can relate to

similarity issues. Its always great to have someone listen and

respect our feelings as this helps build up our strength so that we

may conquer our daily challenges. Together we can brain storm some

strategies to see what will help and if not then its great to know

that anything is worth a trial and its better than nothing. Never

ever, give up hope and never underestimate your kids as they are

learning and listening just not progressing like we want them to.

Its just finding a key ingredient to make things happen and you will

find a way for the kids to develop those challenging skills. Many

hugs as you are not alone and you are all doing wonderful by the way

by learning now on what is triggering the bizarre behaviors. This

was a battle with the medical and educational professionals who did

not detect what was going on with my son until our gracious

moderator Joan had shared her story and did something about it on

distributing the Disability Solution Newsletter and the list which

she had taken an opportunity to bring us together, which was the

missing key ingredients. I came across it when my son was 12 y/o, he

is now 15 y/o. Then the rest had followed by researching, etc. Never

ever hesitate asking questions many here will not judge or pull you

down as I can vouch for that and have seen other list have but not

this one. We are here for one purpose and that is to make sure we

get educated or have shoulder to lean on and our kids can benefit

out any trials available. Sorry don't mean to put anyone to sleep

when I write, just a happy camper lately and you know what? I should

be grieving right now, due to a death in my family recently but I

know that the most challenging conquer of all is for me to continue

moving forward. Who knows maybe me writing this is my way of dealing

with my grief, so thanks for listening.

Hugs!
