Guest guest Posted September 9, 1999 Report Share Posted September 9, 1999 Hi , My daughter was first diagnosed with retardation. The doctor said the most she would ever do is roll from her belly to her back ... never play toys ... never sit up ... As he stormed out of the room at Hershey Hospital he stated I hope she proves me wrong! Well, she sits up, walks, talks a little, and plays toys. When Kennedy Krieger said she is PDD years ago Hershey said I spoon feed Kennedy Krieger information. Boy Hershey gives me a great deal of credit. Well, a few years later Hershey seemed not to know how to describe Jen so they just sat in the room with us smiling and looking at Jen. Kennedy Krieger is not referring to Jen as Autistic and we don't even bother with Hershey other than to have her eyes checked due to four pervious eye operations. I agree with you ... girl seem different, but hopefully some doctors will start looking into this possibility more. Take Care and God Bless, Beverly Weakley Mom of Jen ... age 10 Autistic Girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 1999 Report Share Posted September 11, 1999 Hi Cind, My daughter, is 10 1/2. Since she turned 10 she's been more emotional, crying at the drop of a hat. We tried St' 's Wort for awhile to help calm her. Just when it seemed to be kicking in to help, I saw the posting where this herb can cause cataracts if the eyes are not protected while out in the sun over a long period of time. There went that supplement out the door! I was wondering if anyone has tried Kava Kava with their daughter and if anyone knows if there are any negative side effects to consider. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2000 Report Share Posted May 17, 2000 Hi , Im from Southern CA.. I have a 5 1/2 year old little girl with Autism. She only says about 10 words but is so sweet. I also have a little boy who is almost 7. He had the same diagnose but has now mainstreamed into a catholic school and the school and others don't know of his earlier diagnose. Who know why some children are able to and others (like my daughter) cannot. Anyway, you're a few steps ahead of me with your girl being older. Im sure I could learn a lot from chatting from you! Nice meeting you. Will chat later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
