Glad you decide to de-lurk and join us! That's too bad about your original tapes. I'm VERY careful about who I lend my tapes to, those tapes are sacred...lol. The basic and advanced in the new live 4-pack are different than BL1 and AL1. I am actually in the basic and advanced in the new live 4-pack...they were taped in November and I was in those classes. In the basic tape, I'm over on the left hand side of the screen. I think I'm in the second or third row back and I'm all the way on the end of the row, closest to the riser. I've got a black top on with a little bit of my stomach showing at the bottom and black pants. My hair is in a ponytail. In the advanced, I'm in the back towards the left wearing a bright yellow tae-bo shirt and black pants. I hope you like your new tapes and can get back into tae-bo! By the way, when exactly is your birthday so we can wish you a happy birthday. Again, welcome and feel free to just jump right in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 Hi Tracey, and welcome to the group. If you've just joined the autism support group there in Oregon, why don't you give it a while, they may deserve a second chance. Sometimes it takes a few meetings before you get to know them and they feel comfortable with you. Even with the instant connection we feel with each other as parents, some are a little more reserved than others. I'll give you a hint, when I first started going to the support group here, I didn't really open up until I learned which of them had children with behaviors similar to my daughter. Those were the parents I sought out, and I'm glad to say they are now my closest friends! My daughter, , was nonverbal for quite a few years; the only words she could say were "Mama" and "Barney". Now at eight years old I say she is technically nonverbal because she is limited to one-word utterances, yet compared to before when she was mainly echolalic, she now can speak words spontaneously. She is also progressing to putting words together to form a thought, not a complete sentence, but a thought, like "Mama,....bye-bye.....store". So I knew she wanted me to go to the grocery store. It seems like we are always going to the grocery store! Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that there is hope, and your daughter will make progress with the right support for speech. only babbled for two years and had her own nonsense language. Now she is learning new words more quickly and her vocabulary is growing. Your daughter will most likely make similar progress as she grows and develops.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Grace, just wait! They will in time! Juniper asks me to get things, when we do go to the store she asks for things she wants (sometimes she gets them, sometimes not), and sometimes she even helps me put the groceries away when we get home. A couple of days ago we had been to Goodwill (one of my favorite places to shop!) and bought a few things, including two pewter-looking mugs. Well, when we got home, she took the bag in her room, took her books out of it and her new nightie and blouse, and then came to me saying " Mama, cups missing. " Well, I looked all over, and sure enough, no mugs. After a phone call to the store and a return visit, we finally got them -- someone had put them back on the shelf -- but Juniper was very good, only reminded me a dozen or so times that we needed to go to the store and look for those cups!! I was afraid we'd be having temper tantrums, as I couldn't go right away. So now we have three " pewter " mugs for our re-enacting, one for each of us, and all different -- her dad's has a jingle bell in the base, which she thinks is really neat!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 I will briefly introduce myself and let you know about our situation regarding autism. My husband and I have four daughters, the youngest of which, (Jan, 15) has autism. She was diagnosed at the standard age (3 1/2) but we didn't get any specialized help for her until she was 10. Back in those days there was no First Steps, no Early Childhood Education, and it was very hard to get cooperation from the DMH in our state (MO) My daughter was " limitedly verbal " but when she did start to school at the age of 6, she had all the basic preschool skills which I had taught her or she had absorbed from watching educational videos. Then, for the first two years of school she had a horrible teacher who essentially did nothing for her and she actually lost ground. I believe that if it hadn't been for her behaviors she could have been placed in a regular classroom, instead of Special Ed. I had sent her to school thinking that they might know how to deal with the behavior problems but found that they were even more clueless than I was. Finally, when she was 10, we began to get services from the Judevine Autism Project. Within 4 months we saw a difference in her behaviors. When they began working with her she had an attention span of about 5 seconds -- after 4 months she was sitting and working for 30 minutes and asking for more time. She still receives these services and will not leave the session until she is finished with whatever she is doing. We started her on prozac a few years ago and after we got involved with the Autism Clinic at the MU hospital and clinics they prescribed risperdal. I have my misgivings about the latter and have reduced the recommended dosage without any adverse effects. She has gained quite a lot of weight (she was super-thin before) but she has also gone through a growth spurt and is at least 2 " taller! But her behaviors are better and she does sleep through the night. We also have her take the Super Nu-Thera vitamin supplement and have had great results with that, in the areas of eye contact and spontaneous communication. She is not on any special diet. In many ways Jan's life is pretty normal. She has a sister who is just 18 months older than she so she has been dragged into the " teen scene " -- clothes, pop music, etc. Jan does well in school and has had an excellent teacher this year. Our main concern at this time is reducing the occasional strange behaviors which make her appear different to outsiders. I found this list because I also work in the field of disabilities. I am contracted to the state division of Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities and work with families which include a member with a disability. Because of my years of research into the subject I have come to be considered the " autism contact person " for these families. Because there is so much more information out there for and about boys I was looking for something for families of girls and that is how I found this list. I am finding it very informative and interesting. Sorry for sending such a long post but I wanted to get all of the background info out of the way. > It's here Tamara- have at it!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 Hi Tamara- don't worry about the length of your posts around here! I've been guilty a time or two. Sounds like you have had alot of experiences that can be helpful to other people. My cousin is 28, diagnosed autistic at 13, you can imagine what was not available to my aunt in her small, rural community back then.
