Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Boy I thought the new law was tough but now chickens are required to take the test? Hahahaha I needed that today! Your school should have adapted PE or you could get a doctors note saying a general PE class is too overstimulating for him. In high school you should also be going through his transition plan. In my district they start going half days to school and the rest is job training even in 9th grade. My district also said that when the child reaches 18 they are not in high school anymore they go to a different place for training for the next 4 years or until age 22 no idea what that looks like. I know one high schooler who goes to work and peels wallpaper. Please let us know how your school will handle your child.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Robin, so sorry about your surgery. I hope you make a speedy recovery. I scanned the word autism for the first time at 10 mos, after Allie regressed from a hep B shot. But she was too young for anything to meet at that time, in 2000 there still wasn't a lot about infants with autism. Allie was an affectionate baby with certain people. Her big sister, me, her Uncle Mack, and her Great Granny . Everyone else she didn't seem to care for. She was a good baby. Not unusually good for my babies as her big sister was about the best baby a person could ever want. She also had appropriate babble until 9 mos, had 3 different babbles " baba " for breast/bottle, " tata " for ticklebug a game we played, and " dada " for her Daddy. She pulled up about 2 wks before her regression. She was more quiet and a little later reaching milestones than big sis, but still within normal ranges. I didn't feel her moving near as much as big sister. But, big sis's cord was wrapped around her neck twice at birth, I wonder now if perhaps all her moving was because she was tangled. Big sis is perfectly normal. My youngest, Dinah, her development was almost identical to Allie, except Dinah was a very fussy baby. Very head strong. The slightest language delay. Sometimes I wonder if Dinah may be a tad shadow syndrome. She never got any shots, I have always wondered if they share the same underlying thing but Dinah didn't get autism because of my refusing to immunize her. I still worry if she got a shot even at age 6 it would do something to her. I can't really explain it, it's a fear that I cannot shake. Now my oldest, she had a MMR reaction, but got over it fine. I am thinking about getting her a rubella though. I haven't figured out what to do. Back to Allie, after her regression she became what people describe -- too good. Would lay on her back all day & not complain. Would sit & play with those little ring toss things for hours. I constantly would ask her MDO teachers if they thought something was wrong. They were so happy that she was no bother they thought I was nuts. Teachers must like trouble-free kids! We had her diagnosis at 23 months old of autism spectrum disorder.
